Closing Date: April 23, 2025
The Georgetown University Prisons and Justice Initiative (PJI) connects people affected by mass incarceration with opportunities to shape their own futures. In prisons, in our local communities, and on campus, PJI aims to empower currently and formerly incarcerated people as scholars, leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and advocates. Grounded in Georgetown’s commitment to social justice, PJI also serves to engage the wider university community in understanding the causes and responding to the consequences of mass incarceration, one of the most pressing crises of our time. PJI’s programs offer transformative education and training to open doors for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals in Washington, D.C. and Maryland.
The Community Resource Manager (CRM) is initially a one-year term position funded by the US District Court of the District of Columbia, which provides reentry support and supervision to about five hundred pretrial and post-conviction returning citizens. The CRM will provide intensive support to individuals who are on pretrial release, probation, or supervised release in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, while building a database of resources and providing relevant referrals for admission for PJI’s reentry programs. The CRM will work closely with the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) for the District of Columbia and the U.S. Probation Office (USPO) to identify supervisees who can benefit from additional services offered by community-based agencies, non-profit organizations, and others.
