WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenWhen people leave prison and cannot find a job or a place to live, they are much more likely to commit another crime and end up back in the system. This cycle is expensive for taxpayers and makes communities less safe. By focusing on "second chances," this resolution encourages businesses and community leaders to remove the roadblocks that prevent former inmates from becoming productive citizens.
