Description

Locked Out Of Work: Women, Criminal Records & The Will To RebuildA criminal record can follow someone for years, or even decades, by chronically limiting job options and career paths at every turn. As Illinois moves forward with a new Clean Slate law, we examine how these barriers shape lives nationwide, disproportionately affect formerly incarcerated women and what record-clearing policies could change for the tens of millions of Americans stuck in limbo.  Host: Marty Peterson.  Producer: Amirah Zaveri.  Guests: Chanell Burnette, writer, advocate, former prisoner; Marlon Chamberlain, founder, executive director, Illinois Coalition to End Permanent Punishments, former prisoner; Colette Payne, director, Reclamation Project, Women’s Justice Institute, former prisoner.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
