Often we only hear about the faults and deficiencies of our criminal justice system. During this Second Friday Breakfast + Dialogue we will discuss some “good news” about the specialty courts of Harris County and Justice Forward, a non-profit agency partner that breaks the cycle of incarceration. Join ALF Senior Fellows who are leading this work in the court system and supporting agencies. Learn more about their positive outcomes and how you may connect with them to serve the common good.

Dialogue panel members:

• Devon Anderson, ALF Criminal Justice Class 2, CEO/President Justice Forward (moderator)
• Judge Brock Thomas, ALF Criminal Justice Class 1, Harris County Felony Mental Health Court and the RIC Docket
• Henry Gonzales, ALF Criminal Justice Class 5, Executive Director Harris County Juvenile Probation Department
• Mary Covington, ALF Criminal Justice Class 3, Court Manager Harris County Specialty Courts (retired)

Check in and light breakfast at 8:00am. Dialogue begins at 8:15am.
