Stop Job Discrimination against Felons

The Issue

This is make it easier for felons past and present, even if on current probation or parole.

With the exception of murder, rape and extreme violence. 

To also help people who have done wrong but want to be better.

90% of jobs do background checks and and a majority of those won't hire unless its been past 7 to 10 years .

If you are on current probation or parole with no issues and have obeyed all special conditions you should be allowed to do most jobs.

Statistics say most felons end up back in jail within a year of getting out, why you ask?

Its impossible to get a decent to job to build back a life you might have lost or never had but wanted.

So many people go back to what they know, what was easy to them .

 

This is why we need to stop demonizing people for making mistakes and not letting them try to prove they have learned and want better for themselves.
