President Talks About Importance of Second Chance Act

Yesterday, at a town hall meeting in Tampa, President Obama responded to a question about what could be done to help provide ex drug felons with jobs, so that they would not return to a life of crime, by touting the Second Chance Act. NPACH worked diligently with a bipartisan group of advocates and Members of Congress to pass this legislation, to help ensure that people leaving jails and prisons do not become homeless because they cannot rent an apartment or find work.
