PLAP Welcomes the Class of 2019!

With the new school year now in full swing, PLAP is happy to announce that this year it has added more new members than ever! 122 students attended New Member Orientation last week. In order for new members to learn how PLAP works and how to best help our clients, we ask that all new members attend a training one evening during the week of September 19. Trainings will occur in the PLAP office (WCC 5107) Monday through Thursday from 7-9pm. We look forward to seeing you all there and are excited for what this big group of PLAP students will be able to accomplish this year!

New WBUR Series Addresses Parole for Juvenile Lifers

On Thursday, September 8, WBUR released the second half of its two-part series on the release of juvenile lifers–people who were sentenced to life in prison before the age of 18.  The series follows two Massachusetts men, Greg Diatchenko and Joe Donovan, who have recently been released on parole after spending decades in prison.  PLAP is one organization in the state representing juvenile lifers like Diatchenko and Donovan before the parole board.
