After Prison: Roadblocks to Reentry
The Legal Action Center has completed a two year study of the legal obstacles that people with criminal records face when they attempt to reenter society and become productive law abiding citizens. The report is broken down into three sections:- What's the Law: a catalog of legal barriers each state imposes in the areas of employment, housing, benefits, voting, access to criminal records, parenting, driving, and federal limitations on student loans.
- Report Card: grades each state on whether its laws and policies help or hurt those seeking reentry.
- Vision for the Future: a series of recommendations on how federal and state policy makers can help reintegrate people with criminal records into society without compromising public safety.
