To succeed, it is crucial for people impacted by the legal system to develop networks, says Terrell Blount, MPA, executive director of Formerly Incarcerated College Graduates Network (FICGN) - an organization whose “mission is to support formerly incarcerated individuals in their academic and career pursuits.
WorkingNation sat down with Blount at JFF Horizons 2024 in Washington, D.C.
He also addresses the importance of available resources for people once they re-enter. “In order to receive information and resources that can possibly help individuals, I think the first thing that comes to mind is that there has to be an increase in the level of trust.” But Blount adds, “How we get there is a very different conversation.”
