What is compassionate release and how can it be used to modify a criminal sentence? COVID-19 and its impact on the U.S. prison system has brought compassionate release to the forefront of sentencing and post-conviction relief. Elena Kay and Christina Woehr, Federal Public Defenders for the District of Arizona, will discuss the history of compassionate release, its intersection with the COVID-19 pandemic, and tips, pitfalls, and suggestions for compassionate-release related advocacy.
