Updates to a Landmark Study of the Many Obstacles to Re-entry

In 2009, Legal Action Center published an update to "After Prison: Roadblocks to Reentry," its comprehensive analysis and grade report of state laws and policies that serve as legal barriers to reentry in the areas of employment, public housing, public benefits, voting, access to criminal records, adoptive and foster parenting, and drivers’ licenses.

The report highlights states’ progression or regression in improving opportunities for people with criminal histories to successfully reintegrate into society to become productive, law-abiding citizens.
