Criminal justice reform advocates who helped 30 Oklahomans secure an early release from prison last year are launching another commutation campaign with hopes of helping hundreds more who are serving what the group considers excessive sentences.

Oklahomans for Criminal Justice Reform, a bipartisan coalition of community leaders, is again working with the Tulsa County Public Defender’s Office, University of Tulsa law students and community partners. Officials will present their plans Monday to the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board, which makes commutation recommendations to the governor.

“We just scratched the surface last year,” said John Estus, chief of staff for Oklahomans for Criminal Justice Reform.

This year, they hope to help hundreds of people with commutation applications and hearings, Estus said. They plan to review thousands of cases and conduct hundreds of interviews to identify potential candidates.
