We are very excited about some of the opportunities presented by the First Step Act. Specifically to the suggestions you made below we do intend to work more with local stakeholders and community organizations. Please note that much of this is already happening. Every institution works with the local community to identify and utilize partners to help provide apprenticeship, vocational training, and other skilled training/education. They also partner with community organizations in job fairs and job skills training. Our staff in the Reentry Services Division can provide you with more details and I am sure they would be more than happy to discuss your ideas further. I have copied them here and one of them will reach back out to you. Thanks again for reaching out. Hugh >>> "Rabbi Y.

I had the privilege of being at the White House this past Monday and I cannot begin to express how inspired I was by the events surrounding the First Step Act and how to build off that success. Specifically with regards to the focus on reducing unemployment for former inmates, thus helping them successfully reenter society. To that end, and in the spirit of collecting ideas, I believe it would be an incredible BOP initiative for corporations, small businesses and chambers of commerce etc to partner in this amazing cause to give inmates the tools to succeed when released. Sort of a like a mentoring project. As you know, more than 90% of inmates will one day return to society, yet thousands of them do not have the knowledge or skills to write a resume, type on a computer or navigate the internet. Many do Page 17069 EFTA00046580

not know how to conduct themselves at a job interview, with basic vocabulary, nor do they know how to spell workplace words correctly. The solution to this is obviously education. In the hope of reducing recidivism and increasing our workforce with untapped talent, corporations, small business and chambers of commerce should be incentivized to partner with the BOP to give basic courses to inmates, such as: • Resume building inside, so that when inmates come out it's all ready to go. • Interview skills and mock interviews should be held on the inside to prepare them with appropriate answers to explain their time gaps on resume. • Education inside on aptitude testing; Workplace vocabulary. • Develop programs with data entry computer software and keyboarding skills: with emphasis on general office equipment, mail room equipment. • More Janitorial and forklift vocational certification programs inside. • Customer service telephone and related computer software skills. • Work/vocational programs for non labor jobs to older or disabled releasing individuals, also emphasizing the above "desk job" skills needed. If there was a way for BOP and BOP Wardens to partner with local businesses to come in and do these programs, training and mentoring it could be a tremendous success. This should also be a part of the programming as per the First Step Act. But if there's a way to start this sooner than later I think it would be tremendous and would certainly be in line with what the President stressed on Monday that he wants to reduce unemployment for former inmates. Thank you and G-d bless you for your amazing work! Best regards, Rabbi Y.
