Starting next year, the state Department of Corrections will be able to issue state IDs to prisoners who do not have valid identification when they leave incarceration. (via AlaskaBeacon)

“Reentry is an essential part of public safety,” Myers said in a statement. “Ensuring reentrants are supported during their transitional period helps improve community well-being and public safety. By providing reentrants with a valid form of identification upon their release we also provide the individual with an essential tool for basic life.”

“I hope this legislation enables folks re-entering society to accomplish these basic tasks and avoid homelessness and recidivism,” said Gray in a statement.
