Kamlager-Dove, Booker Reintroduce Second Look Act to Reform Sentencing and Reduce Incarceration

November 21, 2024

Thursday, November 22 U.S. Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA-37) and U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) reintroduced legislation that would allow individuals serving decades-long federal sentences to petition courts for a sentence reduction or release after having served at least 10 years of their sentence. The Second Look Act would allow courts to resentence people who have been rehabilitated and are not a threat to public safety, reducing the prison population and saving taxpayer dollars.
