Our Impact
Our results speak to the power of our healing-centered approach to justice:
Nine individuals released from life and long sentences committed as children, representing 236 years served at an $11 million cost to taxpayers
Thriving peer support networks in two facilities
Bi-weekly peer support group fostering community healing
(De)serving Life’s Impact on Parole Reform
Second chances are powerful and (De)serving Life continues to transform lives both inside prison walls and beyond. Our healing-centered approach helps provide people condemned to a life in prison the support they need to navigate the complex discretionary parole process, helping them take accountability for past harm while demonstrating their readiness for release.
