Alexis
My job title is Pro Bono and Staff Attorney. I have been in this position since April of 2012. My work involves helping incarcerated mothers, formerly incarcerated mothers, and the caretakers of their children. What I like about my job is I get to see families brought together.
In the future, I would like to see a system where we allow people convicted of non-violent crimes to remain in the community with their families - we need more programming and less breaking of the family bonds.
