Meet Graham
Graham is a former drug addict. At the time he attended one of Kansas Legal Services’ expungement clinics, he was getting ready to celebrate 11 years clean and sober. He had turned his life around from what he describes as “a pretty hardcore lifestyle.” While Graham never had any violent offenses, he did have a couple of felonies that were keeping him from being able to get good paying jobs to support himself and his wife. He describes the help he received in sealing his prior record as “a great blessing.”
Expunging or sealing criminal records increases employment and career opportunities, improves housing and financial opportunities, and lowers rates of recidivism. It’s good for workers, families, employers and communities.
