“In
Florida, Governor Rick Scott made the process to have civil rights
restored following conviction MUCH more difficult. For registered
citizens, the process is even more difficult, if not impossible. Please
participate in the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyer’s
survey on restoration of civil rights and take the opportunity to share
the difficulties of a criminal conviction and the subsequent loss of
civil rights on your lives.
The survey can be found here: http://www.nacdl.org/restorationsurvey/”
Survey
Task Force on Restoration of Rights and Status after Conviction
NACDL
is in the midst of a major study that will lead to a report issued in
2014 on the countless ways in which a person’s rights, ability to work,
and the like, are affected by a criminal conviction. As part of this
effort, NACDL needs your help. If you are interested in sharing your
story of lost rights and privileges resulting from a plea or guilty
verdict, please complete survey. Before we would take your story public,
someone on our staff will contact you to ensure that we have the
necessary and correct details to make your story a part of this
important effort to shed light on this serious problem.
