    Those convicted of a criminal offense in Ohio often face a lifetime of roadblocks. But if you’ve transformed your life after a conviction, you may not have to face those barriers forever; a pardon could help! Many Ohioans have received a pardon with free support from our experts.

    In module 1 of our series, learn more about the Ohio Governor’s Expedited Pardon Project, the application process, eligibility, and more. For a detailed walkthrough of the project's Intake Packet watch Module 2: Completing the Intake Packet.

    The Ohio Governor’s Expedited Pardon Project is aimed at enhancing and expediting the process by which people apply for a formal pardon from the Governor under Ohio’s laws. The project seeks to reduce challenges surrounding a clemency application in Ohio for people meeting certain criteria who can show that they have been rehabilitated and have contributed positively to their communities after completing their sentences.
