The American Bar Association (ABA) has created an interactive online database of on-going punishment, aka “collateral consequences,” for each U.S. jurisdiction. This state-by-state resource compiles all laws and restrictions about on-going punishments imposed on people because of past convictions.
The database is called “The National Inventory of the Collateral Consequences of Conviction” and it explains its mission in the following way: “The collateral consequences ofacriminal conviction–legal sanctions and restrictions imposed upon people because oftheir criminal record–are hard tofind and harder tounderstand. Now itwill beeasier todoboth. Congress directed the National Institute ofJustice to collect and study collateral consequences inall U.S. jurisdictions, and NIJ selected the ABA Criminal Justice Section toperform the necessary research and analysis. The results are now being made available through this interactive tool.”
