Support for Returning Citizens in District of Columbia
This act aims to facilitate the reintegration of individuals returning to the District of Columbia from federal prisons. It ensures that D.C. authorities receive crucial information about these individuals, enabling better preparation of support and reintegration programs. The information will be protected, not shared with D.C. law enforcement, but can be provided to lawyers and organizations assisting with reentry.
