Criminal justice reform is finally garnering serious bipartisan support at the state and federal level and the tech community has been leading the way - from dropping the box on job applications to investing in coding and other training programs that ease the path to employment for former offenders.  But the challenge for reformers remains daunting: nationally, as many as 70 percent of people with records are unemployed a year after release from prison. In Illinois, 47 percent return to prison after release.   How is the tech community already contributing to criminal justice reform? And what policy changes or private initiatives could help expand opportunities for those involved in the justice system - or keep them from getting there in the first place? Participants Brian McKinney Brian is a native of Detroit with a lifelong passion for entrepreneurship.  As CEO of Benjii, he and his team create software that enables business owners to increase access to bank capital. Prior to this, Brian oversaw community engagement at Pigeonly, a company which builds products that make inmate services more affordable.

He's also played an integral part producing hackathons for Qeyno Labs and the #YesWeCode movement. May 2015, Brian was selected by Black Enterprise as a #BEModernMan." Kevin Pujanauski Kevin is Product Manager at Edovo, a company that provides intuitive educational courses where inmates are rewarded for learning. With their unique tablet technology, they help unlock the potential of millions of incarcerated people.

Every industry is tech now and as such share a role in shaping the technology we use. Also companies with the highest representation of women leadership see a 34% higher ROI than those with few or no women.

Software development is one of the fastest growing job sectors in the world economy and is projected to grow by 23%. These careers pay 42% higher than other jobs. When women make more, they reinvest 90% of their income back into their families and communities, thus creating a virtuous cycle or multiplier effect for supporting women to earn more overall.
