In 2016, Oklahomans for Criminal Justice Reform organized the statewide, citizen-led effort to pass State Questions 780 and 781, which reclassified drug possession as a misdemeanor and reinvested savings in alternatives and treatment.

It was a big step forward. But thousands of Oklahomans are still serving long prison sentences for drug possession, simply because they were sentenced before these measures took effect. This is wrong. Project Commutation is an attempt to put things right.
