First Step to Second Chances
Root & Rebound partnered with #cut50 to create “First Step to Second Chances: A guide for people leaving federal prison under the First Step Act.” This guide has nationally applicable know-your-rights information and resources for people with federal conviction histories who are rejoining their communities, including chapters on getting ID, housing, transportation, employment, a directory of reentry services and resources, and more!
