Extraordinarily high mandatory minimum sentences defined many of Mark Osler’s cases as a state prosecutor—that is, until a conversion moment changed the trajectory of his career.
As a prosecutor, legal scholar, and professor, Mark provides a window into the unique role that system actors can play in transforming the legal system from the inside.
In this episode, Mark shares how restorative principles, and his own deep Christian faith, have inspired him to center human dignity, mercy, and redemption in his work on clemency and sentencing reforms.
