Margaret Love is a big believer in second chances.

Since leaving her post as a pardon attorney for the Department of Justice, where she worked from 1990 to 1997, Love has been the executive director at the Collateral Consequences Resource Center, a non-profit with a focus on sentencing reform. (She also runs her own private practice.) At CCRC, Love has turned her attention to raising awareness around state-level forms of relief.
