Preserving human dignity

Second Look
Oklahoma

Getting Started

Legislation Defined.

Second look sentencing would allow courts and parole boards to reevaluate a person’s sentence after a set period of time served in prison to determine if that sentence is still necessary. Second look sentencing reforms are needed now more than ever, because all people possess the ability to change.

Locking people up for decades with no chance of review is not in-line with Justice, it is not a rehabilitative model, this is not in-line with human dignity, and is not fiscally responsible.

Second Look Oklahoma would like everyone to contact their legislators and get involved with a conversation that is costing just short of a billion dollars a year.

Solutions

Recommendations: In order to reduce prison populations and to address the root causes of violence, state and local governments should:
1). Repeal policies that have led to excessive sentences for the large number of people incarcerated for violent offenses,
2). Include people convicted of violent offenses in future criminal justice reforms,
3). Direct people accused of violent offenses to problem solving courts,
4). Supervise more people convicted of violent offenses in the community instead of putting them in prison,
5). Implement policies that make more people eligible for parole, and sooner,
6). Invest in evidence-based rehabilitative programs in prisons,
7). Invest in robust re-entry services,
8). Invest in violence prevention strategies.

FAMM’s Mission FAMM’s mission is to create a more fair and effective justice system that respects our American values of individual accountability and dignity while keeping our communities safe. What We Do FAMM’s greatest asset has always been the stories of its members. By sharing the impact of unjust sentencing and prison policies on incarcerated individuals, their families, and their communities, FAMM has helped create urgency around the issue and made the problem feel real to the policymakers who have to be moved to make meaningful change. This two-pronged approach — public education and targeted advocacy — is core to FAMM’s success to date and will remain critical to its work as the organization expands its organizing efforts nationally.
