Pritzker Signs Law Reforming Illinois Parole, Mandatory Supervised Release
“This legislation is, in its essence, about families. When you’re locked up, your kids are locked up as well,” said Sadie Joseph, who works for Sweet Beginnings, a Chicago-area skin product business that employs parolees. “To get out sooner means you’ll be able to continue to raise your kids and get back on your feet. It means the world to your kids. But it’s also about the value of a second chance. When we’re given a second chance, most people take it and won’t mess up.”
