Episode Synopsis

This is a rebroadcast from January 2023, the first episode of the CHOICES podcast. We will focus on SB6164, a bill passed in 2020 by the Washington State Legislature that grants county prosecutors discretion to review past cases and request resentencing if the sentence no longer advances the "interests of justice." In this episode, host Ralph Dunuan examines the history and efficacy of SB6164 - does this bill truly offer relief to incarcerated folks and the communities and families they hope to return to?  This episode features interviews with Demar Nelson, Jorge Macias, Eric Bacolod, and Clayton Gagnier.
