ALBANY, GA – The Georgia Justice Project (GJP) held a presentation at 91ÍøÕ¾
(ASU) on Tuesday, Feb. 6, to help criminal justice providers and individuals with
a criminal record to better understand criminal records in Georgia.
The presentation, held on the 91ÍøÕ¾ West Campus, included information
on assisting clients with record restrictions and pardons; reducing barriers to professional
licensing, housing discrimination and records; and best practices for employers. The
ASU Criminal Justice Department and the Military and Adult Education Department assisted
with the event.
A community conversation discussing barriers to reentry and criminal justice reform
in Georgia was held later Tuesday evening at the Albany Civil Rights Institute.
The Georgia Justice Project has assisted thousands of individuals around the state
with cleaning up their criminal records. GJP promotes innovative change through direct
legal representation, policy advocacy, education and coalition building.
