When Philadelphia native, pearl wearing, interior design loving, 26 year old, Jennifer Bagnaschi, started her company, HolidayPatrol.com, it was far beyond what she’d ever imagine her target audience would be. With only knowing a tad bit about sports, except being a Flyers fan, shockingly not knowing any of the player’s names, and her husband’s die-hard Red Sox obsession running through his veins, there isn’t an ounce of testosterone comprehension in Bagnaschi’s bones.

Philadelphia District Attorney R. Seth Williams, testifying today before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice Science and Related Agencies (CJS), strongly advocated "justice reinvestment" strategies to slash recidivism and promote re-entry of ex-offenders into society while making streets safer and saving taxpayers' dollars.

Congressman Frank Wolfe (R-VA) is Chair of the subcommittee. Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-PA), the subcommittee Ranking Member, invited Williams to testify about Philadelphia's re-entry initiatives, how the city tackles recidivism and corrections spending.
