Molly Crane is a Counsel at FAMM. Her work focuses on developing the first state-level clearinghouse to pair people with critical illnesses in state prisons with a network of lawyers and doctors to advocate for compassionate release and seek systemic changes to compassionate release.
Molly has spent her life advocating alongside people harmed by the criminal legal system. She hopes to leverage FAMM’s expertise as part of her fellowship in order to transform state compassionate release from a broken and underutilized policy into a functioning path to decarceration.
Molly received her bachelor’s degree from Northwestern University and subsequently graduated cum laude from Harvard Law School and the Harvard Kennedy School. While there, she received the Andrew L. Kaufman Pro Bono Service Award, which is given to the J.D. student in Harvard’s graduating class who exemplifies the pro bono public spirit and an extraordinary commitment to improving and delivering high-quality volunteer legal services to disadvantaged communities.
