Who is being helped, and who is being hurt, by Michigan’s sex offense laws?

Testimonials

From a sex therapist, “One of my clients had been languishing for years until he attended Michigan Citizens for Justice. This support group made a huge difference in his progress. I definitely recommend it.”

From parents, “We had no one that we could talk to about our situation starting from the time our son’s photo was first seen on TV, all the way through imprisonment. Since we have found Michigan Citizens for Justice, we felt a community, we are accepted and we have found a home there among people who understand and can offer advice.”

From a registrant, “You have been such an inspiration to me. It has renewed my efforts to try to make a positive difference in the world.”

From a registrant, “I want to encourage you and the work you’re doing for people affected by the registry. It truly was a God-send for me. I believed that I was alone in my battle, until I received that letter [invitation]. It was the spark to the fire of my journey for freedom. Thank you!”
