Members include four former governors; current and former police chiefs and sheriffs; prosecutors and public defenders; leading advocates and researchers; justices on state supreme courts; state, local and federal policy makers; leaders in business, faith, and philanthropy; formerly incarcerated people; victims of crime; community program providers, and others.
