Executive Director Elizabeth Vartkessian’s new book, The Deserving: What the Lives of the Condemned Reveal About American Justice, is available for pre-order! In her book, Liz shares stories and insights she has gained during her career as a mitigation specialist, and presents a vision for how rehabilitation, rather than retribution, would benefit us all.
We are excited for this opportunity to raise awareness about the power and impact of mitigation and the lessons it can teach us.
Her book will be published on January 20, 2026.
