Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought two crises together in American prisons - the epidemic of mass incarceration and the spread of the virus itself. As a result, government officials have begun releasing inmates with minor offenses to alleviate cramped conditions, leading to a new challenge: what happens when they look for work in the crippled economy? Organizations can make a difference by implementing fair chance measures that lower recidivism rates, providing quality job training and access to social networks, embracing fair chance hiring, and taking responsibility as businesses to give back to their communities. By making small adjustments to existing programs and advocating for change, organizations can help those who are getting left behind until large-scale structural changes become mainstream.
