Gateways to Community Re-Entry Mazes 27

Do you have a list of employers who hire
people with criminal histories?

The answer, of course, is “no.” But there are things professionals can do to
help the ex-offender put together his or her own list of ex-offender-friend-
ly employers. You’ll also find useful information here on accessing FBI
and state rap sheets, federal occupational restrictions, and model re-entry
practices. Access to some of these sections for professionals requires a
paid annual or lifetime membership. For individuals, membership is free
based on H.I.R.E.’s philosophy on helping people turn their lives around.
