An Expungement Fair will be held in Casey County on September 20, 2018, from 5-7 P.M. at the Casey County Community and Education Center, 1 Pettyjohn Street, Liberty, Kentucky. There is no cost to attend this event.
Expungement is the legal process where an arrest, charge or conviction is completely removed from your record. In Kentucky, if you do not ask for expungement, the arrest, charge or conviction will stay on your criminal history. This means that any time an employer does a background check, the conviction will show up. This can hurt job opportunities, school or educational opportunities and even some government assistance programs. Expungement gives you a clean slate.
At this event you can learn about:
- Offenses that are eligible for expungement
- Getting your GED
- Training opportunities
- Getting help for a disability
- Restoration of your voting rights
- Advocacy opportunities
- Get a free copy of your record
You will have the opportunity to meet with an attorney free of charge, as well as companies that hire individuals with a record and career counselors.
Event partners: Kentucky Division of Reentry Services, Cumberlands Workforce Development Board, Kentucky Career Center-Liberty, Vocational Rehabilitation, Casey County Adult Education, Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, Office of Employment and Training, Adanta, and Casey County Community Education.
