In 2023, the First Step Act gave Jennifer an early release and a second chance.

President Biden & governors should prioritize clemency to address excessive sentences; successful releases show people can safely return to society. Clemency brings hope for many who've rehabilitated.

What an incredible week at Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site, Inc.! 🌟 Our Democracy for All event series brought together an all-star lineup of programs that sparked important conversations around democracy and justice. We kicked off by celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of our nation with Made By Us, followed by a powerful Constitution Day event with @AnnenbergClassroom. We explored critical issues like excessive punishment with @BrennanCenter, and hosted a moving screening of Sing Sing. We even dived into the Power of Participation with a thought-provoking TED Democracy event in collaboration with Visit Philadelphia. None of this would have been possible without our incredible partners: Committee of Seventy, Pennsylvania Prison Society, Juvenile Law Center, FAMM, @FreeLibraryPhiladelphia, and the Mayor's Office of Black Male Engagement. A huge thank you for your dedication to civic engagement and helping us create these vital discussions for the health of our democracy. Here’s to many more impactful moments ahead! 💬 #DemocracyForAll #CivicEngagement #ConstitutionDay #JusticeEd #EasternStatePenitentiary #CelebratingDemocracy
