Excessive Sentence Project
The Excessive Sentence Project recruits and trains pro bono attorneys to file compassionate release motions on behalf of individuals in federal prison whose sentences are too long, either because they would receive a much lower sentences today due to intervening changes in the law or because their original sentence was simply unjust.

Federal Compassionate Release Clearinghouse
FAMM, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and other advocates are currently recruiting attorneys to work on compassionate release motions for vulnerable incarcerated individuals. Our project also seeks compassionate release for individuals whose excessive sentences would be lower today due to intervening changes in the law.
Please join us in this historic effort to protect them.
