The Choice is Yours (TCY) is a program for first-time, nonviolent felony drug offenders facing minimum prison sentences. TCY is operated in partnership with the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office (DA), Municipal Court, and the Defender Association of Philadelphia (PD). Program mentors help participants continue their education, build a career path, and give back through community service projects. Upon successful program completion, graduates earn the opportunity to have their criminal records expunged, removing stigma and reducing recidivism.
