Prosecutor-Initiated Resentencing (PIR) is a model for how we can revisit past decisions in the best interest of justice, public safety, and reuniting families.
In states with PIR, District Attorneys have utilized the tool to resentence and release people whose incarceration is no longer in the interest of justice. Results show that PIR works and should be expanded.

MYTH: Only people with felony convictions experience lasting negative consequences.
REALITY: Even arrest and non-conviction records, where no guilt was ever established, are associated with long-term economic losses.

Housing is a fundamental need for everyone, but too many people in the United States face housing instability because of a conviction history.
Removing barriers to housing helps people rebuild their lives and break cycles of incarceration. oklahomawatch.org/2026/08/31…

❌ MYTH: Crime victims support long prison sentences.
✅ REALITY: Most victims of violence want violence prevention. Harm is real, but mass support for mass incarceration is not.
ALT Graph results showing results from a 2022 national survey of 1,500 who reported crime victimization within the past 10 years. Most favor alternatives to incarceration: 75% prefer restorative justice, 80% prefer more mental-health treatment, 72% support incentives for pre-release rehabilitation, and 71% support reducing jail populations.

The @SentencingProj and @fjp_org have released a new report, Felony Murder: An On-Ramp for Extreme Sentencing. The U.S. is an outlier in the world in permitting felony-murder liability. Yet in this country, all but two states allow it. sentencingproject.org/app/up… @endfelonymurder

For more than 30 years, U.S. sentencing policy has been built on the false premise that people convicted of violent offenses cannot change.
The research is clear: harsh sentencing doesn’t make us safer. vera.org/publications/summar…
