"Elected prosecutors helped establish our country's reliance on mass incarceration, and this book shows that they can play a major role in tearing it down." - Ebony Underwood,  founder and CEO at We Got Us Now
‍

Over the last decade, progressive, reform-minded prosecutors have been elected nationwide, allowing them to begin change to criminal justice from the inside out. Using the power of their office, which has traditionally fueled mass incarceration and harsh punishments, this new type of elected prosecutor has joined the movement to shake up the justice system. In Change from Within, these visionaries describe their journeys to office, what they are doing to change "business as usual," the pushback they've experienced, and their thoughts on reforms that are possible working from the inside. Published by the New Press, in partnership with Fair and Just Prosecution and Mural Arts Philadelphia, and led by former federal prosecutor Miriam Krinsky, this 300-page anthology shares deeply personal interviews with 13 progressive prosecutors alongside new breathtaking artworks by formerly incarcerated artists. Curated by James "Yaya" Hough, "the vibrant and emotional pieces of the formerly incarcerated artists in this book tell a story equally as powerful as the words on the page." - Agnes Gund.
