TODAY! America Works Event – Second Chance Solutions

An estimated 70 million people in the U.S. have an arrest or conviction record, and over 600,000 men and women are released from jail each year. Connecting the formerly incarcerated with employment is critical, providing a secure income, stability, and a connection with other members of society.

 

Successfully reintegrating these individuals brings many advantages. First, there are advantages to these individuals who can get a fresh start supporting and taking care of themselves and their families. Second, employers can benefit by tapping into a talented labor force to meet their workforce needs. And third, society gains when ex-offenders are connected to employment opportunities and their communities in terms of reduced recidivism and development of human capital.
