S1E2: How the Personal Became a Passion for Second Chances, with Becky Feldman

Becky Feldman is the Director of the Second Look Network (SLN) at the Sentencing Project, an organization that provides support to attorneys and advocates across the country who represent people serving lengthy and often unfair sentences. Becky also is a former public defender, a former prosecutor, and a person who lost her brother to murder. Join us as we discuss how that tragedy shaped the course of her diverse and impactful career in ways that you might find both surprising and inspiring. 

In addition, as Director of the SLN, Becky has her finger on the pulse of what is happening in the second look legal community. In this episode, Becky fills us in on the most recent developments in criminal justice reform and in the movement for second chances.

Giving people a second chance in our criminal justice system is a passion for Becky. Take a listen to hear more about her remarkable personal and professional journey.
