Judge Walter Rice

Starting in 2004, Rice along with Debbie A. Lieberman, studied the issue of re-entry after prison. The “office of Ex-Offender Reentry Welcome One-stop Reentry Center was opened in Montgomery county 9 years ago. Thousands have received help that was previously unavailable. They are working with other counties to change legislation to avoid collateral consequences. There are odd laws. If you have a felony record, you could not be a barber and can’t own a construction company. Most of these laws have no relationship to the crime that was committed.
