Lincoln Restler criticizes the mayoral administration's decision to halt reentry programs for former inmates, emphasizing its detrimental aftermath.
- Restler highlights that the council offered funding for reentry programming, which was declined by the mayor's team.
- The cessation of these programs led to a significant reduction in the number of individuals accessing reentry services.

- Restler characterizes the administration's actions as a failure and a travesty to those in need of reentry support.
