abstract: 'Bipartisan governmental representatives and the public support
|
|
|
|
investment in health care, housing, education, and nutrition programs,
|
|
|
|
plus resources for people leaving prison and jail (Halpin, 2018; Johnson
|
|
|
|
\& Beletsky, 2020; USCCR, 2019). The Personal Responsibility and Work
|
|
|
|
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 banned people with felony drug
|
|
|
|
convictions from receiving food stamps or Supplemental Nutrition
|
|
|
|
Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Food insecurity, recidivism, and
|
|
|
|
poor mental and physical health outcomes are associated with such bans.
|
|
|
|
Several states have overturned SNAP benefit bans, yet individuals with
|
|
|
|
criminal convictions are still denied benefits due to eligibility
|
|
|
|
criteria modifications. COVID-19 has impaired lower-income,
|
|
|
|
food-insecure communities, which disproportionately absorb people
|
|
|
|
released from prison and jail. Reentry support is sorely lacking.
|
|
|
|
Meanwhile, COVID-19 introduces immediate novel health risks, economic
|
|
|
|
insecurity, and jail and prison population reductions and early release.
|
|
|
|
Thirty to 50 percent of people in prisons and jails, which are COVID-19
|
|
|
|
hotspots, have been released early (Flagg \& Neff, 2020; New York Times,
|
|
|
|
2020; Vera, 2020). The Families First Coronavirus Response Act increases
|
|
|
|
flexibility in providing emergency SNAP supplements and easing program
|
|
|
|
administration during the pandemic. Meanwhile, the U.S. Commission on
|
|
|
|
Civil Rights recommends eliminating SNAP benefit restrictions based on
|
|
|
|
criminal convictions, which fail to prevent recidivism, promote public
|
|
|
|
safety, or relate to underlying crimes. Policy improvements,
|
|
|
|
administrative flexibility, and cross-sector collaboration can
|
|
|
|
facilitate SNAP benefit access, plus safer, healthier transitioning from
|
|
|
|
jail or prison to the community.'
