After Prison: Roadblocks to Reentry: A report on state legal barriers facing people with criminal records
This report summarizes the findings of an exhaustive two-year study by LAC of the legal obstacles that people with criminal records face when they attempt to reenter society and become productive, law-abiding citizens. The study is in three parts. What's the Law is a comprehensive catalogue of each state's legal barriers to employment, housing, benefits, voting, access to criminal records, parenting, and driving. The Report Card grades each state on whether its laws and policies help or hurt those seeking reentry. Vision for the Future outlines how federal and state policymakers can help reintegrate people with criminal records into society in ways that better promote public safety.
