About this listen
In this episode of Prison Talk with Jamie Meade and Emma Charleston we will be talking about how the Second Look Sentencing movement started in Michigan. Many people in Michigan are unaware the Second Look Sentencing movement started with the National Lifers of America, Inc. (NLA) and The Adolescent Redemption Project (TARP). Not only did it start with the NLA and TARP, but the movement also started from the research of a couple prisoners. On September 1, 2021, the NLA and TARP (a prisoner) drafted the first proposed Second Look Sentencing Bill that spread around the state prison system and eventually led to an NLA/TARP Second Look Sentencing Rally at the State Capitol in Lansing, Michigan, in October 2021, where Alexandra Bailey of The Sentencing Project was one of the NLA/TARP's guest speakers. Two of the largest criminal justice reform advocacy organizations in Michigan stated they would not support such a bill because it would cost 10 million dollars and take 10 years to pass. Now, two years later, the Second Look Sentencing Legislation is about to be introduced by Senator Stephanie Chang on April 19, 2023.
