Legal Aid Radio

De: Debra Sterling Walters
  • Resumen

  • Our weekly radio show airs on Walk 97.5 FM and highlights the humanity of the people who make up our community. We have guests on the show to discuss the myriad complexities within the criminal justice system.

    Legal Aid is the primary provider of indigent defense in criminal and family courts in Suffolk County. Simply put, if someone is accused of a crime or a family offense, they are entitled to counsel, and the courts will assign counsel if they do not have the wherewithal to afford a lawyer. We also provide support services for our clients in need of addiction intervention, housing, or mental health referrals.

  • #84 - Resurrection Study Group Members Part 1
    Apr 15 2025
    Sometimes, the truth flips the script. I used to believe the outreach work I supported came from state programs—until 2023, when I learned the blueprint for real change was built by those behind bars. Today, we lift the veil on that truth.

    We’re joined by Stanley Jamel Bellamy, Kenneth Inniss, and Joe Robinson, members of the Resurrection Study Group—a movement born not in policy rooms but in prison cells. Created by visionaries like Larry White, known as the Father of the New Prison Movement, and Eddie Ellis, the group's founding architect, RSG reshapes lives through education, mentorship, and healing.

    What does resurrection really mean when the world has counted you out? Stick around—we’re about to explore the blueprint of rebirth, redemption, and radical transformation.
