Task Force on CORI Employer Guidelines
CJI partnered with The Boston Foundation to examine the Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) system and its impact on ex-offenders seeking employment and housing. The collaboration produced a report and a public forum where more than 200 people observed a discussion of the key issues by state officials and practitioners with various viewpoints. At the time of this forum the issues of CORI were not well understood by the public, policy makers or the users of the information. In addition to educating these interests, the report and forum led to a year-long, substantive public discussion about the problems and benefits of the current system and resulted in legislative activity at the city and state levels.
