Restoration of Rights
The "Restoration of Rights" refers to the process of reinstating an individual's legal rights that may have been lost due to various reasons, such as a felony conviction. This process allows individuals to regain their ability to vote, hold public office, and access certain professional licenses, thereby promoting reintegration into society.
In many jurisdictions, the restoration process can vary significantly, often involving specific requirements or waiting periods. Some states, like Florida and California, have established procedures to facilitate this restoration, while others may have more restrictive policies. The goal is to support rehabilitation and reduce recidivism by empowering individuals with their rights.
