#THREESTRIKES SB 2079/HB 3380: IL is one of only a few states that imposes #LWOP on a person's third “strike.” When prosecutors seek a conviction, judges have no option but to hand down the punishment.
We're working to repeal IL's 3X law, returning discretion to judges!

#MSR SB 2077/HB 3378: Some offenses require folks to serve a period of MSR post-release, which comes with a slew of rules. Even rule violations like missing a PO appointment or curfew can result in re-incarceration.
We're working to end imprisonment for technical violations!
