A new law signed last week by New Jersey governor Chris Christie will help provide new employment opportunities for recently released prisoners, according to a story on njtoday.net.

Previous legislation banned any person convicted of a serious crime from working for an employer that held a valid liquor license, unless they had received an employment permit from the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

Giving Back
