A good friend of mine in Florida who's a former NASA engineer is in a similar predicament. She is highly qualified but nobody will hire her except for menial unskilled labor jobs because of a record of one criminal offense. You have to wonder they want to discourage recidivism, yet they make it impossible for most ex-convicts who served their time, to find real employment, beyond dead-end minimum wage jobs. A few jurisdictions offer great training/job placement programs in the trades. Ie: One prison in California trains inmates to become underwater welders, and places them in high-paying jobs working with the off-shore drilling industry. John,

The socyity we live in is sick and the people who run it are sick. How is a person gonna change if thay are not givein a chance? This country should and will burn one day and I will dance when it dose. I am an american, black and race MATTERS. I dont care how many obamas you put in office. How many obamas has this country locked away, givein no second chance, murdered by cop like my man in new york couple of years back just grabing his wallet. FUCK THE UNITED STATES, these folks rather hire illigal imigrents than give one of there own a second chance. The time is coming when the terrorism will not come from no outside sourse but people like me just tryin to survive.
