We came home through these pathways. Now we guide others through them.
Adam Clausen
Adam was sentenced to 213 years in federal prison. After more than two decades of documented transformation, he earned Compassionate Release under the First Step Act in 2020 — one of the most striking sentence-relief outcomes in the modern federal system.
Today he is an appointed member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission’s Sentence Impact Advisory Group, a nationally recognized voice on sentence relief and reentry, and the strategist behind Legacy Impact Group’s case methodology. Every assessment we deliver reflects what Adam learned navigating his own pathway home.

Charles "Duke" Tanner
An undefeated professional boxer sentenced to double life as a first-time, non-violent offender, Duke served over 16 years before earning a Presidential Commutation in 2020 — and on May 28, 2025, a full Presidential Pardon in recognition of his impact since coming home.
Duke has since reviewed cases and mentored incarcerated men and women across the country, advised national reform organizations, and personally visited prisons to assess readiness for clemency and second-chance initiatives.
