Jacob has never been in legal trouble before, but an inability to cover restitution for a non-violent offense could leave him shackled with two felonies and a misdemeanor. The Court has ordered him to pay $600 as a condition of his probation - along with hours of community service, a period of good behavior, and check-ins with a supervisor. 

Jacob is a kind soft-spoken young boy who enjoys art, video games, and going on walks. 

Jacob's life shouldn't be defined by one mistake in his youth. With your support, he can get the second chance he deserves! 

RDF is fortunate to once again partner with the University of Virginia School of Law's Youth Justice Clinic to support their zealous and compassionate representation of youth - like Jacob.
