THREAD: Our executive director @JGKoufos is testifying before the Presidential Commission on Law Enforcement & Administration of Justice on what successful reentry looks like, happening now. @TheJusticeDepartment @COPSOffice

"Nobody in prison asked me for money, but every person asked me for a job. Nobody in prison wanted to go back to prison."

"New Jersey's parole system at the time was one that did its best to connect people to employment."

"Every inmate needs to leave prison with a DMV-issued non-driver ID or a driver's license, not a prison ID."

"The next thing we can do is create a system to resolve fines and fees before release."

"Effective re-entry is one of the best crime-prevention methods law enforcement officers can get involved in."

"In my opinion, review of the occupational licensing structure in individual states would be the way to go." - @JGKoufos on how to help individuals successfully re-enter society.
