If we want a justice system that holds people accountable and makes communities safer, we have to recognize rehabilitation. Prosecutor-Initiated Resentencing empowers prosecutors to look past the sentence and examine the person and the work they’ve done to rehabilitate. Over 1,000 people now have the opportunity to be parents, caregivers, taxpayers, good neighbors, and so much more.

Our Director of Policy, Jeremy Haile (@texpat) spoke earlier this month at the @NCSLorg “Time Served” conference on a “Second Look Policies” panel. He discussed Prosecutor-Initiated Resentencing, emphasizing how prosecutors engage victims with transparency and how implementation varies across states. Great insights from Sarah Anderson (R Street Institute) on survivor justice laws, Ryan King on DC's IRAA data, and the overall conversations on policies to safely reduce incarceration. #JusticeReform #SecondLook #Policy

Exciting news in Colorado. 🎉 The state has enacted legislation (SB26-115) for Prosecutor-Initiated Resentencing, which means seven states now give prosecutors the authority to look back at past cases in the interest of justice. We’re grateful for the support for PIR by Colorado legislators who stood up for justice that is both firm and fair. We also recognize the extraordinary work of Spero Justice Center for its commitment to accountability and second chances. We take great pride in working with all stakeholders, both law enforcement and defense. We’re grateful to partner with Spero on this effort. For The People is proud to support a national, growing movement to safely reunite incarcerated people with their families.

A win for accountability and second chances. Right On Crime applauds the House passage of HB 4324 👏 thank you @RepMoore57 for championing Prosecutor Initiated Resentencing.

“I knew that prosecutors and law enforcement wanted to be a part of solutions.” At last year’s CCJ Member Summit, @forthepplorg's @hillaryblout discussed how her group finds common ground to safely release people with unduly long sentences.

“The opposite of hope is desperation, and it’s dangerous for this population to feel desperate.” John J. Lennon, a journalist incarcerated in New York, explains how clemency and legislation like the Second Look Act can restore hope and make prisons safer: nysfocus.com/2026/03/03/new-…

What is prosecutor initiated resentencing? And how would it make our criminal justice system more fair and efficient? 🤔

A sentence can be right for its time. But what about years later? Prosecutor initiated resentencing gives prosecutors a structured way to revisit old cases — without undoing responsibility 👇

Honored to share: @forthepplorg is an @ElevatePrize winner 🎉We work with prosecutors nationwide to reunite families & strengthen communities. Grateful to our team, partners, and the people whose resilience drive this work. Thank you @ElevatePrize — we’re just getting started.

Stories change culture. Culture changes policy. That’s how justice innovation happens. This weekend, join us in Park City, Utah to learn about why second chances matter. @ScottEPeyton1 @ElissaJ85 @JoshuaBHoe @Shaneva0909 @defensemom Register: lnkd.in/ggZ3eeF6

This #MLK Day, we stand alongside our partners, allies, prosecutors, advocates, and community leaders to advance a justice system rooted in second chances - one that makes room for healing, growth, and people coming home. Let’s keep bending the arc together. 💛

Responsible, bipartisan, and pragmatic advocacy is essential to improving how our criminal justice system actually works — moving beyond a one-size-fits-all reliance on arrest and incarceration toward approaches that deliver real safety and accountability.
