The Obama administration is taking more steps to help people leaving the prison system transition back into society. On Friday, the Departments of Labor, Justice, and Education will announce new grant funding to programs aimed at helping former inmates get jobs and get an education. The secretaries of each agency will speak at an event hosted by the liberal Center of American Progress on Friday. “The bottom line is that we are less safe when the stigma of incarceration prevents americans from truly ever shedding their prison jumpsuits,” said White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett on a press call previewing the announcement.
