If you care about public safety...

If people cannot return from incarceration and find housing and employment....If they cannot connect with their community and families....

What exactly do you expect they will do?

The ability to return connected is a public safety imperative

Why do we consider to expect people to embrace a society that shuns them, that often relegates them to homelessness and unemployment, that often doesn't allow them a voice in their own government, and that makes connection nearly impossible

NIMBY is counterproductive

In Oklahoma right now, law enforcement is running a scare tactics campaign to scare voters into refusing SQ 805

The question is NOT if there will be recidivism, there is recidivism now...the question SHOULD BE will there be more recidivism BEFORE or AFTER reform is passed.

In 35 states, and nationally, criminal justice reform has gone hand in hand with REDUCED recidivism and FALLING crime rates.

I was once recognized as a "Son of Oklahoma" and lived there for many years.

Criminal justice reform will make your communities SAFER

Do not fall for the same old "tough on crime" nonsense
