Families Against Mandatory Minimums

Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM) is a nonprofit organization advocating for fair and individualized justice in the criminal legal system. It opposes mandatory minimum sentencing laws that require fixed penalties for certain crimes, regardless of circumstances or personal facts. FAMM works to reform these policies to promote justice, fairness, and the potential for offenders to rehabilitate, while also addressing issues like mass incarceration and racial disparities. They engage in research, advocacy, and education to influence laws and promote sentencing reforms that consider the unique context of each case.
