During Second Chance Month, AG Campbell and Boston Medical Center Co-Host Reentry Roundtable

BOSTON — Today, Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell, in partnership with Boston Medical Center, hosted the AGO’s first ever roundtable discussion focused on barriers to housing, employment, education and other opportunities for justice-impacted and formerly incarcerated individuals. 

The roundtable was held in April, which is nationally recognized as Second Chance Month, during which AG Campbell highlighted the AGO’s resources and trainings available to support safe and successful reentry for returning individuals.

Held at the Attorney General’s Office, the convening was joined by several reentry-supportive partners and stakeholders, including advocacy, legal services, and nonprofit organizations, along with academics and partners in law enforcement. The Attorney General also prioritized including the voices of justice impacted individuals at the roundtable.
