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 Ciencia Política Ciencias Sociales Política y Gobierno

    #110 - Remembrance of Mark Graham Pt. 2
    Dec 28 2025
    In this episode, we continue the conversation we began in our tribute to Mark Graham. This time, we focus on the critical question he dedicated his life to answering: What do returning citizens actually need in the first 48 hours after release? Those hours can make—or break—the path forward. Drawing from Mark’s lived experience, we explore the Redemption Center model he developed: a real, practical blueprint for reentry rooted in dignity, stability, and second chances. It’s the kind of solution Mark knew could transform lives—if only the world would listen.

    On this episode, we honor the life and legacy of Mark Graham, an extraordinary advocate whose journey from incarceration to community leadership changed countless lives. His passing deeply affected his family, friends, and the many people he tirelessly fought for.

    Tune in as we hold space for that grief while confronting a hard truth. Despite the strides made by returning citizens, society still struggles to truly listen to those who’ve lived through the system. Why hasn’t compassion outweighed stigma, and what will it take for real change? Stay with us as we revisit Mark’s voice, his work, and his challenge to all of us.
