Democratic Job Bill: N.J. Dems advance bills lifting parole requirements, job restrictions for convicted felons
Parole requirements would be eased for some prisoners and job restrictions lifted for convicted felons under a package of bills that Democratic sponsors said Monday would redirect state funds from incarceration to rehabilitation.
The measures — introduced last week amid the start of the new legislative session and an address by the the governor — were described by state Sens. Ray Lesniak (D-Union) and Sandra Cunningham (D-Hudson), the sponsors, as a way to revamp the criminal justice system by encouraging drug treatment and removing employment barriers.
