Championing Fair Sentencing and Community Safety
The Connecticut Second Look Sentencing Project is committed to promoting decarceration by advocating for the release of individuals whose continued incarceration no longer serves justice or public safety. We work to reunite families, correct past sentencing errors, ease correctional staff shortages, and reduce taxpayer costs while enhancing community well-being.
We focus on policy advocacy, community engagement, and legislative reform to advance fair sentencing practices and reduce incarceration rates.
