January 8, 2015, Jersey City, NJ – One out of every four adults in the United States has a conviction history.

The obvious discrimination that accompanies a conviction record is one enormous barrier to former inmates’ successful return to their communities. However, most often these individuals lack the education and skills necessary for meaningful employment.
