This week, ̹½ÊÓƵ Center for Opportunity (GCO) published its first report on ways to improve reentry for ex-offenders in the state. The report focuses on increasing employment opportunities for ex-offenders and offers six recommendations for the State of ̹½ÊÓƵ to consider implementing. The report is a product of GCO’s Prisoner Reentry Working Group that has been working to develop solutions for curbing recidivism and improving offenders’ transition to communities throughout ̹½ÊÓƵ.
The first report focuses on employment because of the critical role it plays in an offenders’ success outside of prison.
