“When we give returning citizens a second chance, we give them the opportunity to better themselves and our country.” -Robert Rooks, CEO of REFORM Alliance. 

“Seventy million people in the United States have a criminal record. These are dads, moms, brothers, sisters, daughters, sons, wives, husbands, and friends. 

This Second Chance Month, REFORM is shining a light on the experiences of members of our communities who are system-impacted and pushing for urgently needed changes to the probation and parole systems. 

We know and data shows us that sustainable employment and access to opportunity are instrumental to the success of returning citizens and contribute to stronger families and stable communities. 

REFORM will continue to take action, fighting for legislation to ensure that our system protects public safety and gives people a genuine second chance.”
