Over the last year and a half at the Center for Justice, Muhammad has been researching the possible passage of sentencing reforms in New York like the Second Look Act. On February 10, 2025, Muhammad was among a group of formerly and currently incarcerated individuals who were invited by Chief Judge Rowan Wilson to speak in support of the Second Look Act at the 2025 State of The Judiciary at the Court of Appeals in Albany.
