Collateral consequences are something that most people are not aware of when accepting a plea and how it affects their integration back into society after release. Collateral consequences affect not only the people involved but also our society as a whole. We want people coming out of the prison system to be contributing citizens. However, the collateral consequences can prohibit people from obtaining basic needs such as work, housing, and more. In this episode, Elizabeth Justesen, Esq., of the Legal Aid Society of Suffolk Country reveals information that everyone should know about before stepping into the courtroom and how to prepare for the roadblocks ahead. She also provides insight into recidivism and why some people return to prison because of society's limitations on them.Love the show?

Zaki has recently worked with the Clean Slate NY Coalition to advocate for automatic expungement of criminal records in New York State. Zaki launched the #EndPerpetualPunishment arts campaign, which uses murals and art in the neighborhoods most impacted by the criminal justice system to educate and empower community members around making policy change. I am a Muslim. A father. One of the 70 to 100 million formerly incarcerated individuals in this country.“There are 47,000 punishments for a person with a criminal conviction—and in some states even an arrest—that could bar you from employment, housing, education, licensing, and voting, to name a few. All the things that can impact a person's ability to stay out of prison are now restricted or taken away. My passion is to create policy to remove the heartbeat of recidivism that is collateral consequences.”

In 2021 it's difficult for the average person to imagine that someone born and raised in the United States does not know how to use technology or navigate public transportation, or could be overcome with anxiety at the thought of crossing the street. Now imagine being in a position where it's frowned upon to ask for help in those situations or even ask questions because you're expected to just KNOW. I was that person 6 years ago. For over a decade I lived in what I call a time capsule. I was eventually released from one of NJ's state prisons but to an area, where I had never lived, at an age that people expected me to act in a manner that was foreign to me, and without the support needed for my survival. I couldn't get a job because I never had a resume, I couldn't get an apartment because I had no rental, employment, or credit history, I couldn't do the many things that would prevent me from going back to the system designed for me to fail. I'm not the only neighbor you pass that has a similar reentry experience. Hiding In Plain Sight: The Neighbors You Never Hear From is an audio series that will take you on the journey of reentry through the first-hand experiences of 6 people and where they are today.Tia Ryans is an advocate against the detrimental culminations of the criminal legal system.

In it he examines the multiple collateral consequences experienced by individuals with a criminal record post-conviction. Additionally he outlines the impact of the market and technological forces that have dramatically reshaped the creation and sharing of criminal record data in recent years. This sees privatised third parties now producing and managing criminal records and their proxies according to corporate aims and processes, creating 'disordered punishment' which is difficult for governments and individuals to control.Dr Alessandro Corda is a Lecturer in Law at Queen's University Belfast.

NACDL Director of Public Affairs & Communications Ivan J. Dominguez recently had the opportunity to speak with attorneys Jonathan Hacker and Deanna Rice from the Washington, D.C. office of O'Melveny & Myers LLP. Jon and Deanna, together with their Associate Kimya Saied, co-authored NACDL's amicus curiae, or friend of the court, brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Packingham v. North Carolina. The case concerns the proliferation of collateral consequences that deprive convicted persons of fundamental rights without a sound basis in law. At issue in this case is a North Carolina law that makes it a felony for a person on North Carolina's registry of former sex offenders to use a social media platform if the site is known to allow minors to have an account. Mr. Packingham was convicted of posting “God is good” on Facebook in celebration of the dismissal of a traffic ticket. Learn more about NACDL. Ivan J.
