People change.
Justice compels us to act.
About Us
For The People supports prosecutors to look back at past sentences.
Today, there are people in our prisons who can be safely released. Whether their sentences are based on outdated policies, or the person has rehabilitated—continued confinement is not in the interest of justice.

Our Work
Prosecutors are public safety leaders. They should be involved in looking back.
Now, they have the power to determine whether someone can be safely released from prison—prioritizing public safety, victims, and rehabilitation. They can make changes. They can reunite families. They can do this For The People.

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.
