Pennsylvania crime survivors today praised the House committee passage of HB 1678 – a part of the Safer Pennsylvania Act – which prioritizes rehabilitation programs to improve public safety. HB 1678, sponsored by Rep. Napoleon Nelson and bi-partisan co-sponsors, passed the House Judiciary Committee in a bi-partisan vote. This bill would help incarcerated people earn credits for educational programs and job training to ensure that they can successfully reenter society, as well as reduce the chances that they will reoffend.
