Helping felons, the environment

10/25/09 Indianapolis Star—Workforce Inc. hires ex-offenders and helps them transition back to society while helping to improve the environment.

The company's plan -- the only one of its kind in Indianapolis -- addresses two of the nation's most pressing concerns: what to do with felons newly back on the streets (about 5,000 a year in Marion County alone) and what to do with the toxic innards of discarded computers.
