Highlighting one of our employees

From Prision to Paycheck

This month one of our employees Hector Morales was featured in an article, "From Prision to a Paycheck" in the Wall Street Journal. Here at Action, we are proud to participate in a program sponsored by the Manhattan Institute which pushes ex-offenders toward "rapid attachment to work."

 

"This fast-track approach isn't typical. For the newly released,

the usual approach might be called services first—offering job training, drug treatment and help finding housing, all thought to necessarily precede job-seeking. The results often haven't been tracked and overall have been disappointing, based on recidivism data.

Now, programs that emphasize work first have begun to sprout up around the country, typically run by nonprofit groups."
