Puja Bhatia

As a former prosecutor, I can reflect on cases I wish I’d approached differently—if only I’d had the right tools. That’s why I’m passionate about working with prosecutors to revisit past cases. Over time, they can see a person’s growth and humanity in ways the system often doesn’t allow. I also get to collaborate with a diverse team that brings a wide range of lived experience and a shared commitment to justice.

Klarc Abrams

Having family members in the justice system, I feel empowered by our mission to safely bring people home from prison. I have been able to read through people’s prison files, understand their accomplishments behind bars, and ultimately help them return home from prison. This job opens your mind and heart. I will take the lessons I’ve learned with me for the rest of my life.

Our team embraces inclusivity, community, and respect. The most rewarding part is seeing people reunited with their loved ones. From learning how sentencing laws operate to getting a birds-eye view of the justice system, I have gained invaluable experience and knowledge at FTP.

Every day, in ways small or large, I feel like I am contributing to making this world a better place. I love working at For The People because the work is groundbreaking and essential… but what keeps me coming back to For The People are the people.
