01/20/2006 | There are a lot of factors to be considered here, but first and foremost, they shouldn't have committed the felony in the first place. I would hope they were truly reformed and wish them luck but it's their own fault they are in that situation.

01/20/2006 | It depends on the crime and if they've truly changed their ways. I know a guy that's been in prison and had trouble finding a job so he started his own business.

01/19/2006 | Everybody deserves a second chance once his or her dues have been paid. I can understand the reluctance, but I can also have compassion for that person.

01/19/2006 | Tough luck, buddy, there aren't enough good jobs for the COLLEGE graduates. . .better off making your own business somehow. . .(I know someone who took this exact route and it seemed the only way out of poverty.) I broke the law in high school and college but wasn't stupid enough to get caught. . .don't execute a plan unless you've got all the bases covered. . .

01/19/2006 | Like Djahuti said. It depends on the felony. I'm not sure if I would hire a rapist or a con man. If they re-offended while on the job, you may be held legally accountable for their actions. With that said, I do feel bad for the guy who did something when they were young and stupid, paid their dues to society, but have a stigma attatched to them for the rest of their lives. Most everybody deserves the benefit of a doubt, and with it, a second chance.

01/19/2006 | I might hire an ex-convict,I might not.What was the "felony"? Certainly many people have done their time and changed for the better,but other people come out of the system worse than they went in.Also,there are plenty of people in jail for stupid stuff.I had to bail out a buddy once who was arrested for not returning a video tape he rented-I kid you not!Had I not the cash that fateful night-he would have actually done time!

01/19/2006 | I'd hire the ex-con as long as I can see that he's gonna work hard and stay out of trouble.

01/19/2006 | I'm so glad to see you all have a good outlook on this. I work with people in the system all the time. Most of them agree that they deserve what they got for sentencing and as long as they are not continually a menace to society, I agree they deserve a second chance, and a third, and, etc. How many times did The Lord say to forgive? 7x70. I wish some of the people I work with had potential employers like you all.

01/18/2006 | I think if the person has genuinly changed and benifitted from the time they spent in prison, and has become a better person, than there's no reason why they shouldn't be able to work like the rest of us.

01/18/2006 | Not including those guilty of violent crimes against other people, I believe that all who have paid their price to society for their crime deserve a second chance. That what our system is all about isnt it? I would be nervous about helping ex-cons but I feel someone has to help them make amends in thier lives.
