Our Board

Founded by Joshua Bevill, who is currently serving his 15th year of a 30-year sentence, TJP is committed to ensuring that pre-vetted, deserving federal prisoners have access to free, high-quality legal assistance during the post-conviction phase.

The mission of TJP is influenced significantly by Joshua's Christian faith.

TJP has two board members: Valeri Pyeatt and Dr. Alyssa Middleton.

Valeri Pyeatt

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. Alyssa Middleton

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.
