To: your members of Congress
Nearly everyone in prison comes home. We ask Congress to require and fund accredited job training and education in every federal prison, and to help states do the same — training that ends in a recognized credential. A RAND review of decades of studies found people who took part in prison education had 43% lower odds of returning to prison than those who didn't.

When it reaches the goal it’s handed to the officials named above at a public meeting, and their answer is posted online. This is a petition to your elected officials — like the clipboard at the courthouse door. It does not put anything on the ballot; in Arkansas and most states that takes ink signatures from registered voters. Names are never shown publicly. County Commons — an independent, nonpartisan public-records project.
