www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., will be joined by the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office, among other law enforcement agencies, to give ex-offenders an opportunity this week to learn how to re-enter society, obtain employment, regain their rights and avoid return trips to jail.
Johnson announced he will hold a Restoration Resource Fair from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Thursday at Georgia Piedmont Technical College, which is located 495 North Indian Creek Drive in Clarkston. The congressman’s office said the event will include record expungements, opportunities to look for jobs, housing and transportation vouchers, mental and spiritual guidance and hunger assistance among other support services for people who have been incarcerated in prison in the past.
“This event, which is building off previous resource fairs we’ve held, is a community effort to help break the cycle of recidivism and poverty and help make those who have been previously incarcerated more productive, successful citizens,” Johnson said.
