Host Michael Rhynes interviews attorney Jason Hoge about the new legislation that will make a difference to men and women coming home from prison.

The law holds a unique promise for 2.3 million New Yorkers with conviction records. The law will clear the path for them to access the employment, housing, education and other opportunities they need to successfully reenter and contribute to their communities. Plus, NYS stands to recover approximately $12.6 billion in lost wages every year due to reduced earnings related to a conviction record.

Listen and learn more about the important changes that will support formerly incarcerated people as they re-enter society and the law's public safety safeguards.
