Hi Dana,
I'm so sorry to get back to you so late, I forgot all about this site!
A new policy would be based on your population of prisoners (i.e. race, gender and age), who will be reentering society with felonies. Opening the job market, so that the ex-felons can get gainful employment with benefits. If they don’t get these jobs, the crime rates will continue to grow.

Hello Hewitt,
The Aquarius Project seems to be having a big impact and reaching a lot of people. You mention that one of the needs necessary to help sustain and scale up your idea is a policy shift in employment away from the current stringent rules. Could you explain what a new policy for employment would look like? Are you or any other groups that you know working to make this policy change? Thank you for your response. Keep up the great work.
