PGP Trustee David Harding's Research on Employment After Incarceration

PEOPLE COMING OUT OF PRISON NEED GOOD JOBS, TOO

Like Anyone Without Recent Employment Experience, They Want More Pay, More Stability, and More Upward Mobility  

When people in the corrections field are asked that question, you often hear this mantra: Get a job, any job. The idea is that work will reduce your risk of going back behind bars. As a result, people coming out of prison feel pushed to take crappy jobs that have difficult schedules, low pay, no benefits, or poor working conditions.
