We are incredibly grateful to Sheriff James Mendrick for Governor for his leadership and commitment to meaningful programming within the Jail. Because of his continued support, College of DuPage has chosen to continue partnering with us.

The Slant Literacy Project is currently in development and on its way, while our educational and rehabilitative programs continue to grow and make a meaningful impact. Thank you to College of DuPage and to our dedicated JUST staff who carry out this important work each day in service to those in our care.

Sheriff Mendrick, we wish you the very best in the path ahead and continued success in all that is to come. 🌱📚

We’re proud to share a recent success at the DuPage Correctional Center.

One of our students has earned certificates in Power Equipment Technology and Urban Farming through the College of DuPage. With the guidance of dedicated instructors who come in each week and the continued support of JUST staff, he committed himself to learning, growth, and skill-building.

Most importantly, he chose to use his time productively and prepare for a positive return to the community. This is what opportunity, effort, and determination look like.

Congratulations on a job well done!🎓🌱🔧👏

🥁 Our First Drum Circle Therapy Class 🥁

Today marked the start of something special. Drum Circle Therapy is about connection, expression, and healing using rhythm to reduce stress, build confidence, and strengthen unity and community. Our end goal is to create a safe, supportive space that promotes emotional wellness, self-expression, and meaningful connection.

Thank you to our incredible drummer Mark, our dedicated internal social worker staff, and a special thank you to Help Lynn Win for helping make this possible. We’re excited for what’s ahead this is just the beginning!💛🥁

Grateful to the DuPage County Sheriff and Administration for their continued partnership and for allowing JUST of DuPage to host a Christmas Mass for our detainees. Special thanks to Deacon Dan and Executive Director Michael Beary for making the connection that has allowed Ronald Hicks now promoted to Archbishop of the Archdiocese of NYC to come into the jail over the past few years. This Mass was especially meaningful, as it will likely be his last with us. He shared that this access isn’t always welcomed at other facilities, which makes the Sheriff’s openness and support all the more powerful. We are also deeply thankful to Lynn LaPlante Allaway, whose beautiful Christmas symphonies on the violin brought peace and warmth into the space. From the JUST of DuPage team, the entire DuPage County Sheriff’s Administration, and the detainees, we send Archbishop Hicks our prayers and best wishes on his new journey. 🎄🤍

📸🎨✨ First Art as Therapy Class at DuPage Correctional Center!

We’re excited to share a few moments from our very first Art as Therapy class sessions. The class will rotate between the men and women at 6 week sessions, providing both groups with a creative and meaningful outlet for wellness and rehabilitation.
A heart-felt thank you to everyone who continues to support our mission and help carry out wellness programs that make a real difference in the rehabilitation of those we serve.

Yesterday was extra abundant enough fresh produce to share with not one but two local pantries: the Lift Center and Glen House. 🥕🍅Every harvest is a reminder that when we care for what we plant, it grows beyond the garden...into nourishment, connection, and hope for our community. 💚 # DuPage County Sheriff's Office

Another successful harvest picked up by our friends at People's Resource Center! 🌽🥕🍅

Thanks to this amazing partnership, fresh produce is getting into the hands of neighbors who need it most. Together, we’re building a community that fights hunger and believes in second chances. 💚

Our instructors once again delivered not only practical skills, but inspiring words that reminded everyone: change is possible, and it starts here.
