1/ 97.1% The number of people, convicted of a sexual offenses who were NOT convicted of a new offense within 5 years of release in CT (OPM). Evidence is not the reason for exclusion from relief. We must continue to educate, advocate and liberate. #cleanslatect
2/ Erasure is not about relieving someone who has been already held accountable from responsibility. It is about allowing all citizens, including those who have been convicted and those who have been harmed to live in a place of real (not merely perceived) safety. #nocarveouts
As @JoshuaBHoe says - HOW people come back from prison matters. Making people insecure increases crime & recidivism, the best way to stay safe is getting people jobs & stable housing, to ensure they are connected to & not isolated from their communities. #cleanslatect
I will continue to shout it from the rooftops. Harm piled upon harm will NEVER create safety. We must do better Connecticut.
