New Research Shows Expungement/Sealing Records is Life-Changing for Qualified Returning Citizens

From Community Legal Services (https://clsphila.org/):

CLS proudly announces the release of a new paper from our colleague Jamie Gullen.  https://bit.ly/2MM6hvJ

Research, data, and most importantly, the lived experiences of people with criminal records show that expungement and sealing can be life-changing for the vast number of people who qualify.  This paper features the stories of people whose lives were improved even by having minor criminal cases expunged.  It also examines policy initiatives that can expand the effectiveness of record clearance, most notably automated sealing through the new “Clean Slate” model.

We hope that you find this paper useful.
