Hillary Blout is the Founder and CEO of For the People. A former prosecutor, Hillary has been at the forefront of advocating for prosecutor-initiated re-sentencing (PIR) laws across the country. In this episode, we explore Hillary's compelling personal journey, including her experience growing up in a low-income, high-crime neighborhood. She shares how both her personal and professional background have shaped her perspectives on justice and community safety. We delved into her current focus on PIR laws, which empower prosecutors to revisit cases and reduce sentences for individuals who have demonstrated significant rehabilitation. The discussion includes how the re-sentencing process works, the involvement of victims in the process, and the impact of these laws on the lives of those released from prison earlier than their original sentences.
