Where we work

Expanding Justice Nationwide 

In 2018, we secured the first Prosecutor-Initiated Resentencing (PIR) law in the country. Now, five states have their own PIR laws. Reach out today to help bring Prosecutor-Initiated Resentencing to your jurisdiction.

We must look back, in order to move forward.
