Michigan Re-entry Law Wiki Launched
Helping ex-convicts navigate obstacles they may face as they make the transition from prison to the general population is the focus of a website recently launched by Legal Aid of Western Michigan's Re-Entry Law Project (RLP) and the Michigan Poverty Law Program.The Michigan Re-Entry Law Wiki provides visitors with answers to frequently asked questions, current case law, statutes, trends regarding prisoner re-entry, and downloadable forms for everything from obtaining a state identification card to expunging criminal records. It also contains a wealth of information to help lawyers, judges, social service providers, and others involved in the re-entry process.
The wiki format allows the site's collaborators to easily update information. The RLP and MPLP spearheaded the site's implementation and design, with financing provided by the Michigan State Bar Foundation, the Grand Rapids Community Foundation, the Open Society Institute, and the Justice, Equality, Human Dignity, and Tolerance Foundation.
