Progressive prosecutors are elected officials who prioritize reforming the criminal justice system. They focus on reducing mass incarceration, addressing racial disparities, and promoting alternatives to traditional prosecution, such as diversion programs and restorative justice. Their approach often emphasizes rehabilitation over punishment. These prosecutors advocate for policies that limit the use of cash bail, decriminalize certain offenses, and reduce mandatory minimum sentences. By implementing these changes, they aim to create a more equitable system that serves the community's needs while ensuring public safety. Notable examples include Larry Krasner in Philadelphia and Kim Foxx in Cook County.
