So many who stood before her were in a bad place in their lives, yet Commissioner Nordstrom ruled with compassion and a realization that sometimes people deserve a second chance. Because of the success of Fresh Start, many of her graduates have become very successful and are now living a productive and healthy life far from where they were when they first stood before her.
