Advocates for domestic violence survivors in Illinois celebrated earlier this month when Gov. JB Pritzker signed a bill into law making it easier for those who are incarcerated to get reduced sentences.
The idea is that women who received harsh sentences without a court hearing about their histories of abuse should get an opportunity to tell their stories in court.
Only New York and California have comparable resentencing statutes, although efforts to change laws are underway in several other states.
In Oklahoma , a new law went into effect Thursday that allows survivors of domestic and gender-based violence to have their sentences redone.
In Pennsylvania , Democratic state Sen. Amanda Cappelletti sponsored similar legislation last year but said the timing was not right to advance the bill with her party in the minority.
Opponents to the resentencing laws emphasize that crimes were still committed and that the process of the justice system should be upheld.
