• W2277305434 abstract "Jessica Chiappone could not volunteer at her children’s school because of a conviction that was 15 years in her past. Darrell Langdon needed a dedicated attorney, a sympathetic judge, and media attention to persuade school officials, 25 years after his drug possession conviction, to let him return to his longtime work as a boiler room engineer. Mr. C, a business executive who learned crisis management during his military service, was turned away from volunteer work with the American Red Cross because of a minor fraud conviction. These individuals all told their stories to the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers’ Task Force on the Restoration of Rights and Status After Conviction, which just published Collateral Damage: America's Failure to Forgive or Forget in the War on Crime - A Roadmap to Restore Rights and Status After Arrest or Conviction. These witnesses described just a few of the approximately 45,000 laws and rules in U.S. jurisdictions that restrict opportunities and benefits in one way or another based upon a conviction (or, in some cases, charges that are dismissed). By conservative estimates, more than one in four adults in the United States — some 65 million people — has a rap sheet and more than 19 million people have felony convictions.These stories and numbers have new and dangerous meaning in the electronic age. Arrest and conviction records are no longer pieces of paper that sit in court clerks’ files, accessible only by a trip to the local courthouse. Instead, they are usually on publicly available websites, open to all viewers who care to search. These technological advances have led to widespread background checking by employers, landlords, and others, even when not required by law. Some law enforcement agencies actually sell arrest records, and the private data companies buying them or getting them from public sites have proliferated, profiting from the misery of innocent and convicted people. Even with conviction records, the well-documented failure of states to record when charges are dismissed or records sealed, and the failure of private data companies to keep accurate records, hurt millions of individuals.The Task Force heard testimony from more than 150 witnesses at hearings conducted in six cities from 2011-13. Drawing on that testimony, as well as independent research, the report makes ten core recommendations and provides detailed, concrete steps for effectuating each:1. The United States should embark on a national effort to end the second class legal status and stigmatization of persons who have fulfilled the terms of a criminal sentence.2. All mandatory collateral consequences should be disfavored and are never appropriate unless substantially justified by the specific offense conduct.3. Discretionary collateral consequences should be imposed only when the offense conduct is recent and directly related to a particular benefit or opportunity.4. Full restoration of rights and status should be available to convicted individuals upon completion of sentence.5. Congress and federal agencies should provide individuals with federal convictions with meaningful opportunities to regain rights and status, and individuals with state convictions with mechanisms to avoid collateral consequences imposed under federal law.6. Individuals charged with a crime should have an opportunity to avoid conviction and the collateral consequences that accompany it.7. Employers, landlords and other decision-makers should be encouraged to offer opportunities to individuals with criminal records, and unwarranted discrimination based on a criminal record should be prohibited.8. Jurisdictions should limit access to and use of records for non-law enforcement purposes and should ensure that records are complete and accurate.9. Defense lawyers should consider avoiding, mitigating and relieving collateral consequences to be an integral part of their representation of a client.10. NACDL will initiate public education programs and advocacy aimed at curtailing collateral consequences and eliminating the social stigma that accompanies conviction." @default.
