1. Dear Mr. President and madame Vice President 

I am writing you today to let you know that I think it's really unfair what the justice system is doing to people that are trying to get jobs after they have committed petty crimes or, crimes that are 5 years or older. With the pandemic going on I think that there should be some type of position to where employers are only allowed to disqualify the applicant based on their background is if it is a charge that affects working at that particular job. For example if someone applies to be a schoolteacher obviously he cannot be a registered sex offender.  Even though this has happened in the past that registered sex offender's have slipped through the cracks and, ended up working near or, even in schools. Going to jail and going to prison is supposed to rehabilitate people is it not? People who are NOT EVEN FELONS are being disqualified for caregiver jobs non stop because they are allowed to disqualify you even if your not a felon!! However, since the prison system is supposed to be this so-called rehabilitation system then why not let the people live a NORMAL LIFE? WHY CONTINUE TO KEEP US DOWN IN A SYSTEM THAT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN ARRESTED DOES NOT MEAN YOU EVEN DID ANYTHING.  Why turn us down before we get a chance to let our voices be heard? Just because some of you guys bury us in the prison backyard with nothing but a number doesn't mean that is all that we were and all that we are. A prison ID or, a Social Security number. WE ARE HUMANS. We as a nation, America , The land of dreams should have our leaders practice what they preach. MR BIDEN are you not all about second chances? Then I ask you please. Stop ignoring our pleas! How can we ever prove to anyone that we are not criminals if you wont even give us a CHANCE at a second chance. 

sincerely,

Ines hoffmann
