Founder and board:

Joshua Bevill, who is currently serving the 15th year of a 30-year sentence, founded The Justice Project approximately seven years ago. The primary purpose of The Justice Project is to embody and promote the principles of Joshua's Christian faith, emphasizing compassion, mercy, and restoration. The organization aims to breathe life and hope into deserving prisoners by helping them regain their freedom.

TJP has two board members: Valeri Pyeatt and Dr. Alyssa Middleton. Valeri, the granddaughter of former Congressman Ron Paul and the niece of Senator Rand Paul, continues her family legacy of advocating for criminal justice reform.

Dr. Middleton holds a Master's in Social Work and a Ph.D. in Psychosocial Oncology. She works with late-stage cancer patients and their families, and her commitment to compassion and empathy extends naturally to supporting impoverished prisoners.
