Problem Statement

WHAT WILL WE BE WORKING ON?

We are working to create a complete understanding of how people with convictions in Colorado can have their records sealed. This is a first step to find the friction points for users in the process that can be addressed with either technology or process.

WHY IS THIS ISSUE WORTH SOLVING?

Sealing your record can help remove barriers to housing, jobs, education, and other opportunities. In some cases, there are records that can be sealed for convictions that are no longer a crime.

IDEAS AND FURTHER INVOLVEMENT

Our primary idea is to create a journey map for the record sealing process. This will then be used in an ongoing project at Code for Denver's regular project night. We also hope that this artifact will be useful for our partners in advancing legislation, creating reports, and understanding how they can influence the process to be as easy as possible.
