About this episode

Prosecutor initiated resentencing (PIR) gives prosecutors the flexibility to reassess past cases, right-size sentences, and strengthen public safety. ROC’s Frank Russo and Marilyn Davidson join The Right On Crime Podcast to break down how PIR balances accountability and fairness, why courts and corrections work better when resources are focused, and how this approach saves taxpayer dollars while protecting communities.
