Plain-English Summary

The bill would require the federal government to create and distribute a comprehensive guide to help people who have been released from prison find housing, jobs, education, and other support services they need to successfully reintegrate into society. This resource would be made available to formerly incarcerated individuals, their families, and organizations that work with them. The goal is to reduce recidivism by making it easier for people leaving the criminal justice system to access the programs and assistance that help them stay out of trouble.
