Did you know that quick employment for formerly incarcerated individuals significantly decreases the risk of committing future crimes?

Recidivism (a relapse into criminal behavior) rates on average range from 30%-70%.

Recidivism rates for individuals quickly employed range from 3.3%-8%.

The Re-Entry Project helps people with criminal convictions reintegrate into the community by addressing criminal history-related civil legal issues.

The Re-Entry Project may be able to assist with cases such as:

Employment discrimination;
Section 8 Problems;
Certificates of relief from civil disability/certificates of good conduct;
Denial of professional license; and
Denial of employment due to prior neglect/abuse findings (at the ALJ level).
