Some students at the University of Arizona are already setting up clinics to help people clear their records. They said it doesn't take as long as you might think to clear records.
TUCSON, Ariz. — As Araceli thinks back to her charge for possession of drug paraphernalia back in 2013, it brings back memories of having trouble finding housing and a job.She wants to keep her last name private, but said she wanted to speak up for people who have records with marijuana charges.However, she applied for an expungement of her record through Acre41, a local organization. She said it was cleared in about a month last year.
They said they’re in the planning stages to help the City of Tucson expunge records and will be going through the City’s database, taking information to file an expungement petition with the court. They said they use a website to help people sign up. “The most challenging part is when you tell someone that their charge isn’t expungable. It’s very disappointing and frustrating,” Caro Cohen said.
