NACDL: Share Your Story for Second Chance Month
As part of NACDL’s Second Chance Month social media campaign, we are gathering stories and insights from people who have been impacted by the criminal legal system. If you have been incarcerated, we invite you to share your voice about reentry through this brief survey. Your voice – and the voices of those in your community – can highlight the power of second chances and the importance of fair and compassionate justice.
Responses may be featured in our social media campaign to raise awareness and amplify the importance of second chances. We encourage you to share this survey with your networks so that as many voices as possible are heard. Every shared story matters.
Thank you for helping us spotlight the power and potential of second chances.

Just odd that every other person who finishes their time in prison, probation or house arrest, when done with their sentences, they become and “Ex-offender”. Meaning they are no longer an offender.
On the other hand, for people like me and others, who have finished their sentences decades ago, instead of Ex-offender, we get a lifetime label of sex offender. Myself and many others were retroactively applied to the registry and got no chance to plea bargain because the registry didn’t come out until years into my sentence.
I pray one day we can get our lives back and stop being harassed by neighbors, the public, the news and law enforcement and be able to move on.
I had already shared a rather lengthy comment and was alerted that I had not been recognized and needed to subscribe my email. I thought I had done that at a previous meet and greet. I’m not sure if my comment was saved, waiting for my email to get subscribed, or not.
