Home For Good is a short documentary film series produced by the nonprofit For The People in collaboration with filmmakers Lucas Guilkey and Thanh Tran. The vignettes depict the journeys of people who were released from prison through an unexpected law: the same prosecutor who asked to imprison them requested their release. Through this series, For The People aims to grow the second look movement and expand support for second look policies across the country.&nbsp; This film follows Troy Dunmore, who was convicted to 65 years-to-life. He was released through this new law, Prosecutor-Initiated Resentencing (PIR), in 2021. At 58 years old, Troy had served 26 years in prison and had 39-years-to-life remaining on his sentence. This film was co-produced by Thanh Tran, who was also released through PIR, and was created following ethical storytelling guidelines he helped establish at our organization – ensuring Troy was able to tell his story on his own terms.

Ny Nourn is the Co-Director of the Asian Prisoner Support Committee (APSC), a Bay Area coalition that provides direct support to incarcerated Asian American and Pacific Islanders. Ny works to dismantle the prison to deportation pipeline and bring community members home.
