The Second Look Project

The Second Look Project is dedicated to advocacy and legal support for individuals given extreme sentences as youth in the District of Columbia. Our work is focused on those who are eligible for sentence reductions under D.C.’s Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act (“IRAA”), and involves institutional advocacy, training, and litigation support. If the Second Look Amendment Act passes expanding eligibility for sentence reductions under the IRAA, we hope to begin providing direct representation to meet the needs of this new and growing population.
