2727 [criminal offenders] persons who have been arrested or convicted of 4
2828 crimes are rehabilitated and returned to society prepared to take their 5
2929 places as productive citizens and that the ability of [returned offenders] 6
3030 such persons to find meaningful employment, housing and higher 7
3131 education and to freely access public accommodations, credit and 8
3232 insurance products, is directly related to their normal functioning in the 9
3333 community. The General Assembly also finds that African Americans 10
3434 and Hispanics are arrested and incarcerated at rates disproportionate to 11
3535 their representation in the general population and that discrimination 12
3636 in employment, housing and higher education and access to public 13
