The Biden administration unveiled a plan Tuesday that will allocate $145 million to developing "reentry plans" for incarcerated persons, which would connect them to resources, such as jobs, housing and loans upon being released.
The plan is the latest Biden initiative to tackle criminal justice reform that the president made part of his 2020 presidential campaign.
"Formerly incarcerated persons are an underutilized talent pool despite employers attesting that formerly incarcerated persons are often some of their best and most dedicated employees," the statement said.
The proposal advises employers to reevaluate their interviewing, hiring, onboarding and retention processes to better include formerly incarcerated persons. Reentry plans should begin as soon as a person is incarcerated and no later than 18 months before a person's sentence is complete, Biden's office said.
Biden said in a statement that "...helping those who served their time return to their families and become contributing members of their communities is one of the most effective ways to reduce recidivism and decrease crime."
The plan will mostly be funded by grants, according to the proposal.

Biden may not be aware of whats being done in his name, but this administration’s only goal is give the middle finger to the country that elected Trump in 2016 and 2020.
Just keep them “housed” in prison making license plates.
I’m all for giving a second chance, but this article reads like Biden believes career criminals make better employees...

They become democrat congressmen
“...connect them to resources, such as jobs, housing and loans”
How many times have we read the government has launched a new program to “create a one-stop shop” to “connect people to resources, jobs” blah blah blah. The programs are always started with great fanfare, give away tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, and are never heard from again.
The land should be awash in “one stop shops” and life should be good by now.
Yet, the only “one stop shops” I know of are Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Wayfair, etc. Does ANYBODY really count on the GD government to “connect” them to things?
The lifetime of this new program will depend entirely on how those criminals vote. If they vote “D” as a thank-you to their new masters for their freebies, the program will be declared a success and expand.
It would appear that crime, indeed, does pay.
How about letting them go find their own jobs...like we did.
So.. reparations
The Democrats are Criminals and now they’ll reward criminals
Greasing the skids for friends and family
The grant money never gets to those who need it. They use the grants for big salaries for do-nothing, slug bureaucrats and politicians (likewise do-nothing slugs).
Biden is preparing for his son’s future...looking ahead...like any good parent.
Felonation.
The Democrat party is the party of crimials - just further proof as if any further proof was needed
Better get to know your enemy, and your friend.. The participants in the coming war are beginning to gather..
Biden’s are career criminals
Hunter is never going to jail.
