概要

 Our weekly radio show airs on Walk 97.5 FM and highlights the humanity of the people who make up our community. We have guests on the show to discuss the myriad complexities within the criminal justice system.

Legal Aid is the primary provider of indigent defense in criminal and family courts in Suffolk County. Simply put, if someone is accused of a crime or a family offense, they are entitled to counsel, and the courts will assign counsel if they do not have the wherewithal to afford a lawyer. We also provide support services for our clients in need of addiction intervention, housing, or mental health referrals.Copyright Debra Sterling Walters 政治・政府 政治学 社会科学

    #113 - From Incarceration to Impact with Jeff Ball
    2026/02/01
    What if the moment that nearly broke you became the moment that built you?

    What if instead of walking away from pain, you chose to turn it into purpose?

    On this episode of Legal Aid Radio, we sit down with Jeff Ball, a Suffolk County native who didn’t just come home from incarceration… he came home with a mission. Jeff Ball could have walked away and started over quietly, but instead, he chose purpose over comfort. In this powerful Legal Aid Radio interview, Jeff shares his journey from growing up in Wyandanch to earning his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, and why he committed his life to supporting people returning home from prison, even when it meant confronting his own past.

    This is a conversation about resilience, reinvention, and what’s possible when you choose to let your past fuel your future rather than define it.

    #111 - Think Outside the Cell Community

    Programs end. Classes end. But community doesn’t. We have more access than ever—more information, more social media, and more ways to connect, yet real human connection feels harder to find. For people coming home after incarceration, that gap can be everything. You can have the tools, the knowledge, even the motivation, but still feel like you’re rebuilding alone.

    In this episode of Legal Aid Radio, we’re talking about what happens when people stop trying to do it all by themselves and start showing up in the same room.

    Joe Robinson joins us to talk about building real community, real conversations, and real support because transformation doesn’t happen in isolation.
