Crankstart's $6 million grant was the largest received by the DA's office, aimed at funding a restorative justice program that was cut off soon after Jenkins took office.

The initiative had the support of victims and offenders, allowing for a process where offenders could apologize and take steps towards restitution through nonprofit oversight.

After the arrival of Brooke Jenkins, the DA's office ceased all adult restorative justice referrals, effectively stalling a program that began under her predecessor.
