A statewide effort to end laws that limit the lives of formerly incarcerated Illinoisans.
In the U.S., many people view incarceration as the punishment one receives for breaking the law. But a recently released study indicates that for the more than 3.3 million people with criminal records in Illinois, punishment continues well beyond time served. Advocates tell us why it’s time to break those barriers.
