Bill Would Seal Records For 2 Million New Yorkers

A person is not their criminal record, and the state of New York might be ready to recognize this by removing scarlet letters from the chest of formerly incarcerated individuals. In a recent hearing, the New York Senate discussed a bill that would seal and expunge the criminal records of roughly two million rehabilitated New Yorkers convicted of serious crimes.
The proposed legislation would create a two-step process for New Yorkers with completed prison sentences. First, an individual's conviction record would automatically be sealed, then later automatically expunged. During the hearing, formerly imprisoned individuals spoke to New York Senators about their experiences post imprisonment. Many of them came to the same conclusion: even if you've fully completed your sentence, you must return to society with a tainted reputation and limited opportunities, which ultimately results in "perpetual punishment." America's lack of employment, housing, and economic opportunities for individuals with a criminal history can stretch a five-year sentence into a lifetime sentence, keeping deserving citizens and their families in a cruel cycle of poverty, incarceration, and homelessness.
