When Chesa Boudin was a baby, his parents were arrested and incarcerated. Visiting them in prison for decades helped shape his convictions about what justice does--and doesn't--look like in the United States. Now, along with eleven other reform-minded prosecutors voters put in office throughout the country, they reflect on the task they set for themselves: making change from within.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing the power of their office, which has traditionally fueled mass incarceration and harsh punishments, this new breed of elected prosecutors has joined the movement to shake up the justice system. In \u003cem\u003eChange from Within\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished in partnership with Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP), drawing from interviews conducted by FJP executive director Miriam Krinsky, a former federal prosecutor, this unprecedented book includes intensely personal first-person profiles of thirteen transformative DAs.
