@Official_LSJA@CleanSlateTexas 100% agree. We have been housing ex-offenders for 17 years now. I can't recall a single individual that served over 15 years re-offending again.
@CleanSlateTexas We believe that those eligible for sealing/expungement should not be defined by what offense they committed, but rather the accountability and rehabilitative efforts they demonstrate. We must make pathway to clear records that recognizes behavior change. #CleanSlateTownHall
@CleanSlateTexas Decriminalization of drug possession and exoneration of those currently incarcerated for drug offenses. Community focus on the upstream causes of crime, rather than criminalization of poverty and homelessness. #CleanSlateTownHall
