From City & State PA: "Attorney Elisa Downey-Zayas, a specialist in probation and parole, oversees alternative sentencing for the Defender Association of Philadelphia. Since joining the association, Downey-Zayas has led efforts to reduce the number of people on active probation supervision and supported numerous specialty pretrial, parole and reentry programs to provide alternatives to the traditional criminal justice system. She recently secured a grant from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency to fund a pilot program to support Philadelphia’s reentry goals."
