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& #39;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& #39;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.
