The Marion County Reentry Coalition keeps a running list of job openings available to people with a criminal background in Indianapolis. To be on that list, according to senior associate Kinsey Bussell, employers have to be willing to work with people who were incarcerated or who have supervision requirements, such as an ankle monitor.
You can see how much the jobs generally pay, whether they require a high school diploma and whether the company is located near a bus line.
“We’re encouraging employers to think through what it would take to support somebody,” Bussell told Mirror Indy, “Most people don’t know what it means to be on supervision, and so just being willing to not judge people, and be transparent.”
