Kudos to Mr. Ryan Costello on this piece on the Clean Slate Act. This legislation which has bipartisan bipartisan support proposes to remove barriers that prevent ex-offenders from employment, housing etc. newsweek.com/next-step-after… @FuturesRestored
Studies show that inmates who participate in education programs are less likely to return in prison in 3 years. Encouraging education in our systems will reduce recidivism. Congrats to these two graduates!

The effects of a criminal record weigh heavy even after mistakes have been paid for. Offering second chances will provide opportunities for those to flourish in society. #CriminalJusticeReform #CleanSlateAct
Passing the #CleanSlateAct will benefit 2.3 million New Yorkers, removing barriers to enable people to move forward from past mistakes. Great article! @GothamGazette

91% of Americans say that the criminal justice system has issues that need fixing. Because of that statistic, shouldn't this be something on the top of politicians' agendas?

Reducing recidivism can not only allow this money to be invested elsewhere, but can lower the states spending. #CriminalJusticeReform
Even though Second Chance Month has passed, we should be working every day to support those returning to society. @thehill

Great article, @emilyjaneen3! "...everybody makes mistakes and when people turn their lives around, they deserve to move forward." #CleanSlateAct ksl.com/article/50406937/gra…
Reducing prison population by implementing rehabilitation methods will heavily reduce state spending. #CriminalJusticeReform
Opportunities for success start with employment. The #CleanSlateAct will offer second chances to those who need it most.
Thank you, @NYCSpeakerAdams and the @NYCCouncil, for the support! Time to grant seconds chances. Clean Slate can't wait!
The @nyccouncil approved a resolution urging the State Legislature to pass the Clean Slate Act. We stood with advocates and our state partners in support of sealing past conviction records that block 2.3M New Yorkers from accessing housing, jobs, and educational opportunities.
Clean Slate can't wait!
Time to invest in our neighbors and offer second chances to those who have done their time. #CriminalJusticeReform
Keeping rehabilitation efforts as a top priority in criminal justice reform will greatly reduce our recidivism rates. #CriminalJusticeReform
Thank you, @ShaunAbreu, for your support! Let's get it done.
Getting to the root of a problem is the only solution. National recidivism rates within a year are 44%. Almost HALF of Americans end up back behind bars within months of release. It's time for a change! #ReduceRecidivism
Statistics show a significant problem in our prison systems. It's past time to get to the root of the problem and help these men and women rehabilitate. #RehabilitationoverRecidivism
