JERSEY CITY -- The Rev. Al Sharpton will be among the guest speakers at this year's prisoner re-entry conference, hosted by Mayor Steve Fulop and former Gov. Jim McGreevey.

McGreevey runs the Jersey City Employment & Training Program, which manages the city's prisoner re-entry and jobs programs. This will be the third prisoner re-entry conference the two have hosted since Fulop was elected mayor.

Sharpton will join attorney and Fox News personality Andrew Napolitano; U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman; Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.

Boxer Mike Tyson was last year's celebrity speaker. Former Newark Mayor Sharpe James and Bernie Kerik also gave speeches addressing the criminal justice system.

The conference will be held on Thursday, March 24 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Saint Peter's University's Mac Mahaon Student Center.
