✨ ✨

Today, we’re highlighting one of the incredible partnerships helping make second chances possible.
Every two weeks, the Time Served team is on-site with Concordance, a Greenville-based reentry program helping individuals returning from incarceration secure and maintain meaningful employment.

By bringing free legal services directly into the community, we help remove barriers that stand between a criminal record and a second chance.

Whether it’s addressing legal obstacles to employment, housing, or stability, we’re meeting people where they are and helping them move forward.

Because second chances don’t happen alone. They happen when communities come together. 🤝

Thank you to for partnering with us to create brighter futures and stronger communities. Through this partnership, we have been able to provide services to system-impacted people with reentry needs throughout the Greenville-Spartanburg area.

April was Second Chance Month🎉

Here in South Carolina, 1 in 3 of our neighbors carries a criminal record. A record follows them into every job interview, every apartment application, every PTA sign-up sheet, every chance at building a stable life.

Second Chance Month is meant to highlight this reality. And this is why Time Served exists. And this April, we got to work.

Here are a few moments from a month spent advocating for second chances, hosting record-cleaning events, connecting with communities, and providing FREE legal aid services across South Carolina.

While April may have ended, this work does not stop.✨

Thank you to all who make this work possible and help make second chances a reality for individuals beyond April🧡

We partnered with Soteria yesterday for a free record review clinic focused on helping people move forward, and it was a meaningful day all around! Here’s what we were able to do together:

✨ 112 charges identified as eligible for expungement
✨ 2 individuals eligible to clear their entire records
✨ 27 people advised on pardons
✨ 2 people received guidance on driver’s license reinstatement

We’re always grateful to work alongside Soteria and the steady, impactful work they’re doing in the reentry space here in Greenville. Every clinic like this is a step toward more second chances. Be sure to follow along as both Soteria and Time Served host more events for Second Chance Month!
