State Sen. Zellnor Myrie paid a visit to the Prison Job Fair held by the Cornell School of Industrial and Labor Relations, where 78 incarcerated men met with representatives from a dozen companies to discuss future jobs.

 

“Rehabilitation should be part of every step of the justice system, and that’s what this job fair is about. This is an investment in people who have been incarcerated that will allow them to re-enter society successfully and be equipped to succeed,” said Myrie, a Democrat representing Crown Heights and parts of Park Slope and Sunset Park.
