Today marks three years since the CFSY's Gem Jones was released from prison. Gem was incarcerated as a child at the age of 16, and began advocating for others during her time behind bars. We are proud to have her on staff as Fair Chance Hiring Fellow:

Happy freedom day, Gem!

@paroleproject Samuel, welcome home.

[Louisiana Parole Project @paroleproject]

After 32 years in prison, Samuel received his second chance thanks to a commutation of sentence. Before he could be released his wife passed away from COVID. “She waited so long for this moment … I wish she could have been here to see me walk out.”

Thank you @GovMLG for adding Senate Bill 43, which would abolish life without parole for children in New Mexico, for consideration this year. NM is now in position to become the 26th state + DC to abolish JLWOP. Grateful for the advocates including @nm_fair that made this happen!
