“Ban the Box” legislation would prohibit criminal background inquiries on job applications. Employers would only be able to make such inquiries after an interview, stopping “the box” from weeding out formerly convicted people immediately. Rabbi Moishe Mayir Vogel, Director of the Aleph Institute, and Dean Williams from the Formerly Convicted Citizens Project, join us to discuss the proposal.

Correction: This post previously linked to the website of a different Aleph Institute, and used a photograph that incorrectly identified Rabbi Moishe Mayir Vogel. These have been corrected.
