sadly this country is driven by criminals who are told what to do by religious and moral fanatics. I agree. my sister and brother have both done time because of crimes they committed when they were young and stupid and even 7-10 years later they cant get a job. My sister works for labor ready and is such a good worker that she has been asked to be hired on full time at every temp job shes had, and everytime she has said yes they background check her and then wont even let her back as a temp because of her record. pathetic.... You know what prison teaches you?....how to be a better criminal, because once your out, its all you can do.
I think if youve served your time your record should be wiped clean.Why do we punish people who turned their life around?
Why give someone a second chance when they've already wasted their first? There are enough people who are still waiting for their first chances. Tell ya what, when the world is done giving everybody their first chances, we'll go back and give second chances to all those criminals who have squandered their lives committing crimes against the rest of us.Why do we punish people who turned their life around?
Of course they deserve a second chance. They got put out of the game for a while, but sitting on the side lines will not put them back into the game. Its not the coahes call anymore for their life, they just have to work extra hard to prove they want back into the game and will make it a winning one for themselves!Why do we punish people who turned their life around?
b/c alot of people dont give second chances. and business's dont want to risk a loss of any kind. And once trust is lost it is hard regainWhy do we punish people who turned their life around?
Because they show that one CAN turn one's life around, thus nullifying all our excuses for why we haven't.Why do we punish people who turned their life around?
this is so true........ but white america will never buy this........ unless it becomes a problem in their neighborhoodWhy do we punish people who turned their life around?
Doing time has two potential benefits: one is to keep criminals away from everyone else and the other is to hopefully discipline them into civilians who obey the law. Some criminals commit crimes the very day they're released while others begin to behave better than most of us who have never even been to jail.
It's not fair to those who have paid their dues in a correction center to be discriminated against when they are corrected. Restricting gun purchases and denying financial assistance is one thing, but to not give them a fair chance is the same as feeding one's straight A child while starving their other, misbehaving one.Why do we punish people who turned their life around?
I know. I have a close relative who is in the same fix.If it's a felony, it is punishable for the rest of ones life no matter how good one does after they do their time and probation.
It seems that a few make it bad for all, like nationality, being in the military in a foreign country etc. When I was overseas if one soldier did something bad in that country, seemed like they blamed all the U.S. troops. Life is difficult and we just have to try to make the best of it. There are some companies who will hire felons but very few. My relative was fortunate because they had a skill. Just do the best you can is all the advice that i can give. There are some scholastic programs for people who have done time. It might be worth looking into.

it's a part of the american manifesto to give only certain people first, second and third chances, while holding others to a certain standard. george bush was a weed head, a cheating c-student and a drunk; yet he is our president. why did he never get locked up.Why do we punish people who turned their life around?
if your willing to change yourself you deserve as many chance you get
