IN TERMS OF NEW REFORMS JUSTICE FORWARD WORKED WITH OTHER GROUPS TO PROMOTE CHANGE TO THE LAW INCLUDING DEFELONIZING SIMPLE DRUG POSSESSION ESTABLISHING COUNSEL AT FIRST APPEARANCE PROGRAMS ENSURING PAY PARITY BETWEEN PROSECUTORS AND PUBLIC DEFENDERS AND PROVIDING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR RESENTENCING FOR PEOPLE SERVING EXTREME SENTENCES WHO HAVE SHOWN THAT THEY WERE REHABILITATED IN PRISON.
