Jim McGreevey met with Trenton Mayor Eric Jackson today at Trenton City Hall for an hour-long, closed-door meeting where the two discussed how to help former inmates be successful in their re-entry into society.
Jackson said the two had discussed the issue during his campaign, but it was McGreevey who asked for the meeting with Jackson.
“We certainly have a need in our city to have a good, connected, coordinated re-entry system,” Jackson said.
Jackson said he is hoping to create a re-entry program in Trenton to offer services to ex-offenders trying to reacclimate themselves to society, but there are many complicated issues to take into consideration when crafting the plan, so he is glad to have help from the former governor.
