He is also Founder of The Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice, which has freed 11 people. Jeffrey additionally is an advisory board member of the national coalition group It Could Happen To You, which has helped pass 6 additional laws;  and he  serves on the Global Advisory Council for Restorative Justice International.
