IMPACT
“SCP remains the only non-profit focused on post-conviction relief based on rehabilitation in Washington State. Our amazing clients who have overcome so much, their outstanding lawyers who advocate for them, and the positive results they have earned together are a model for what a community can do to create positive change within a system in need of reform.”
– Jennifer Smith, Seattle Clemency Project Co-founder/Executive Director

Seattle Clemency Project has released its 2023 Impact Report, which looks back on our work from the past few years and charts our path forward. The report includes stories and wisdom from our remarkable clients, who exemplify the standard to which we hold ourselves.

We are proud to see the important issues facing the criminal justice system getting noticed. We also hope that society sees the value of men and women who are incarcerated and recognizes that they are an important part of our community.
FinanciAl Impact
Did you know that some estimates put the average cost of incarceration in Washington state at about $39,000 per year? That only increases as incarcerated men and women age, having a major financial impact on state taxpayers.
SCP relies on the generosity of the law community to donate pro bono legal services. This work cannot be done without their dedication and willingness to help those who otherwise would not have access to free legal representation.
