Our Mission
FAMM (Families Against Mandatory Minimums) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that fights for individualized and proportionate sentencing laws that allow the courts to fit the punishment to the offender. FAMM advocates for state and federal sentencing reform, and mobilizes thousands of individuals and families whose lives are adversely affected by unjust sentences to work constructively for change.
Our Vision
FAMM's vision is a nation in which sentencing is individualized, humane, and sufficient but not greater than necessary to impose just punishment, secure public safety, and support successful rehabilitation and reentry.
FAMM's national membership includes prisoners and their families, attorneys, judges, criminal justice experts and concerned citizens.
