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.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The House of Representatives, not the Oval Office, has the constitutional "power of the purse." So since the very corrupt, Democratic-controlled House will probably remain silent about Biden's election year spending for former prisoners, its's time for Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters to elect a new, Trump-endorsed House for the 2022 midterm elections.
I assume this means ILLEGALS too.
coming to a neighborhood near you.
Fair enough. It's better if they have a way back, though.
If they can't get a job they don't have much choice. Welfare?
Since illegals are criminals it might, but for the most part they’re never incarcerated so maybe not
“which would connect them to resources, such as jobs, housing and loans upon being released.“
Well of course it was swept under the rug the very positive efforts that Trump made in this area .
Or maybe his campaign just dropped the ball talking about it.
Already known as Section 8 housing.
The pipeline is drying up anyway since no one goes to prison anymore......unless they were a Trump supporter or a cop or some sort of authority figure and have white skin.
the Jan 6 po,itical,prisoners will be happy to hear this I’m sure /s
I am all for the attempt, but what about the failures? What happens there?? IMO, anyone on more than a second chance who returns to crime should be given the choice: leave the country or firing squad.
My wife and I are barely making it. Neither of us has been a drag on society at any time. I am not too keen on money being shoveled to the criminals and illegals. These programs sound good and feel good but do they achieve their purpose? Worse, anytime a new program gets going, it just moves forward with its own inertia.
Only black violent offenders need apply
And trannies and lgbtq felons as well
Commit crimmes and get free stuff. We must be doing something wrong with this law abiding claptrap were wedded to.
Do some arson, looting, stabbing, shooting, raping and the world is your oyster.
… The plan will mostly be funded by grants, according to the proposal.…
Democrat party taxpayer-paid slush fund.
Remember, because of failed public schooling, many of these incarcerated men cannot even read and write.
What kind of working career could they handle?
They've been released due to the Hoaxademic, leading to a massive crime wave during the 2020 campaign, and will now be kept hard at work manufacturing fake ballots.
