Voluntary Pretrial Support Program Shows Positive Results. A partnership between the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Cleveland (UUCC) and the Cuyahoga County Public Defender’s Office is showing that voluntary support to people navigating the pretrial process is yielding great results. Work by UUCC volunteers in the form of supports like transportation, temporary housing, groceries, court reminders and assistance with warrants produced excellent court appearance rates (96%) and no arrests during the pretrial period. Local and voluntary? We love it!
