Prosecutor Impact (PI) (www.prosecutorimpact.com), a fiscally sponsored project of TSNE MissionWorks (www.tsne.org), was founded in 2016 by Adam Foss, a former Assistant District Attorney in the Juvenile Division of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office (SCDAO) in Boston, MA on the premise that expanding the knowledge, tools, and resources of prosecutors is the most efficient and impactful way to address the crises of mass incarceration in America.
To do this, PI partners with District Attorney’s and their offices around the country to provide targeted training and technical assistance intended to help front-line practitioners reimagine their role as prosecutors and their relationship to their communities. PI seeks to encourage a more creative, empathetic, and cost-effective approach to prosecution, and ultimately to facilitate a fundamental rethinking of prosecutor training and practice in the United States.
