Reentry and the Road Home

A Conversation with Attorney General Lynch, Secretary Perez, Secretary Castro, and Secretary King

Please join the Center for American Progress for an exclusive conversation on criminal justice, featuring U.S. Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch, U.S. Department of Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro, and U.S. Secretary of Education John B. King, Jr. These distinguished panelists will discuss new and existing programs and initiatives by each of their agencies that are aimed at addressing the importance of reentry—supporting the transition that formerly incarcerated individuals experience as they return to life in their communities upon release, and ensuring a second chance for people with criminal records and their families. The event will be moderated by Daryl Atkinson, a Second Chance Fellow at the U.S. Department of Justice, with an introduction by Carmel Martin, Senior Vice President for Policy at the Center for American Progress.
