Telesa Jones & Cooper Mertens, with Eyes on the Law, "Mythbusting Reentry"

T elesa Jones and Cooper Mertens, with Eyes on the Law | "Mythbusting Reentry: Addressing Common Misconceptions & Misinformation About Justice-Involvement"

When people hear "criminal record" or "formerly incarcerated," a lot of assumptions happen - many of them inaccurate. This presentation will break down some of the biggest myths about justice-involvement and reentry, from who gets caught up in the system to what life is really like after incarceration. We will tackle misconceptions about employment, housing, rehabilitation, and public safety, using real stories and data to separate fact from fiction. Whether you work in advocacy, policy, or just want to be better informed, this is a chance to challenge stereotypes and rethink what Second Chances really mean.
