The consequences of a criminal conviction extend well beyond the immediate sentence authorized by statute and imposed by a judge. A vast array of collateral consequences accompanies a criminal conviction and reduce, restrict, or exclude record subjects from the right to vote, to obtain employment or a professional license, access to public housing, and many other disabilities. Contemporary research has focused on what has been termed redemption, i.e., the point where an offender’s risk of committing crime has diminished to the same probability as the general population. As Blumstein and Nakamura have noted, “Although past wrongdoings are a useful sign of future trouble, this information has decreasing value over time because the risk of recidivism decreases with time clean.” States are increasingly enacting Clean Slate legislation, which advocates automatic clearance of criminal convictions and records for some crimes for persons who meet strict eligibility requirements (e.g., non-violent offenses, successful discharge of their sentence, completion of crime-free waiting periods). Pennsylvania, Utah, Michigan, Connecticut, Delaware, and Oklahoma are currently implementing or planning for Clean Slate programs. This presentation will focus on assessing the operational, technical, and policy challenges confronting states as they plan for and implement Clean Slate programs, and explore lessons learned.
