Just in case you missed this — there's still time to help us create second chances!

Wishing us all a happier, healthier, and more humane New Year!

The Washington, DC Council overwhelmingly passed the strongest Second Look legislation in the country! 

DC’s Second Look Amendment Act will give a meaningful opportunity for release to hundreds of District residents sentenced to long terms during their adolescence. This ground-breaking legislation is a critical next step for tackling mass incarceration and reducing racial disparities in the criminal legal system.

With your support we can advance Second Look Campaigns around the country. Your donation will help The Sentencing Project:

  • Build a national coalition around Second Look
  • Provide technical assistance to the 20 states that have introduced Second Look legislation
  • Publish research on model Second Look polices and track and analyze implementation and outcomes
  • Uplift the stories of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people who have transformed their lives and victim rights advocates who recognize that #20YearsIsEnough

Can we count on you to help end extreme sentences and give people a second chance?
