Guest post by J6 defendant Jenny McCombs
The journey for those impacted by the events of January 6, 2021, doesn’t end when the prison doors open.
For many, the release marks the beginning of a daunting new chapter—one fraught with the challenges of reintegration into a society that often stigmatizes them.
These men and women have faced profound loss: their businesses, homes, communities, savings, and, in some cases, even the support of their families. They have lost it all.
The J6 Road Home Project stands as a beacon of hope for these individuals, offering them a lifeline to rebuild their lives.
Dedicated to fostering healing, wellness, and restoration in body, soul, and spirit, this comprehensive program is offered entirely free of charge.
It addresses critical needs such as housing, employment support, and emotional recovery, providing a path forward for those striving to reclaim their lives.

A Vision Rooted in Compassion and Faith
Guided by the Biblical call in Hebrews 13:3 to “remember those in prison as if you were together with them,” the J6 Road Home Project is about more than meeting material needs.
It’s about restoring dignity, fostering resilience, and demonstrating the transformative power of community and faith. The project’s founders, Doug and Jenny McCombs, bring unparalleled dedication and expertise to this mission.
Jenny, herself a January 6th defendant, offers a deeply empathetic perspective, grounded in her background in counseling and business. She serves as a mentor, helping others navigate emotional recovery, embrace forgiveness, and rebuild their lives through entrepreneurship.
Doug, with his wealth of experience in corporate management and hands-on trades like carpentry and construction, provides practical guidance and support, helping participants develop skills that pave the way for independence and stability.

Stories of Strength and Resilience
One of the program’s future beneficiaries is James McGrew, a third-generation Marine Corps veteran. James served his country with honor, enlisting after September 11th and surviving an IED explosion during his deployment in Iraq.
Today, he faces a new battle: rebuilding his life after incarceration. Upon his release, James will join the J6 Road Home community, where he will find not only a place to live but also the tools and support needed to heal and thrive.
James’s story is just one among many. Over 1,569 January 6th defendants, including more than 184 veterans, face similar struggles.
These individuals want to move forward, rebuild their lives, and contribute positively to their communities. By supporting them, we’re investing in second chances and affirming the belief that redemption is always possible.

Meeting the Needs of Reentry
The challenges of reentry are immense. Many January 6th prisoners emerge from incarceration with limited resources, struggling to find housing, employment, and acceptance. The J6 Road Home Project addresses these critical areas:
- Employment: Providing jobs is key to helping individuals regain financial independence and reintegrate into society. If you are an employer willing to hire January 6th defendants, please send us an email to join our database. You can change lives by offering jobs to J6ers ready to rebuild and prove their love for this country.
- Housing: Do you have an RV you’re willing to donate to a J6er? Or room to house a J6er? Please contact us. As we build housing on our property, we are also looking for additional options across Texas.
- Vehicles and Expenses: Do you have a vehicle to donate in Texas, or would you like to sponsor a J6er’s monthly expenses? Support for medical care, transportation, utilities, phones, counseling, and basic needs can make a life-changing difference.
- Professional Services: Are you a professional willing to offer services such as counseling, medical care, mentorship, or skills training free of charge? Contact us to provide vital support to those striving to rebuild.
