After Prison: Roadblocks To Reentry: a Report On State and Legal Barriers Facing People With Criminal Records
Description:
This report focuses on the obstacles facing people with experience in the criminal justice system upon their reentry to society. The authors grade each state on whether its law and policies help or hurt those seeking reentry. This report includes a comprehensive catalogue of each state's legal barriers to employment, housing, benefits, voting, access to criminal records, parenting, and driving. The authors make recommendations on how federal and state policymakers can help reintegrate people with criminal records into society in ways that better promote public safety. (Authors)
