Why do sexual offenders think they're the victims?
Offenders keep talking about thier rights, but they do not talk about the person they abused. If they are so interested in the constitution why don't they read put it between themself and the person they are going to abuse. I'm getting sick of crybaby offenders who act as if they are being persecuted when they are only being held accountable.
How can someone get a job with a felony?
what jobs hire people with one felony record. Live in illinois and my daughters boyfriend has one felony. He had probation, He had stolen an electronic item from his familys house. They had him arrested and he received a burgulary charge. This was 5 years ago and he has had drug problems and arrests but no convictions He is now clean for two years and can't find a job that will give him a chance. He is truthful on his application and even got an interview but they would like a felony more than 7 years ago. Does anyone hire people like this?
It must be nearly impossible for ex-cons to find a well-paying job. Are there any companies or lines of work that are more willing to hire ex-cons? Is there any course of study a prisoner could pursue to make them more employable after release?
I don’t know if it is the most common route for ex-cons to launch a high paying career, but working in the culinary arts has certainly been a popular avenue for ex-cons to take once they are on the straight and narrow, at least in the US. There are many programs that offer training and placement for ex-cons looking to get into the culinary arts.Some very highly respected chefs in the US are ex-cons.I worked with ex-cons in the construction industry in NYC years ago. These were guys who spent hard time in Rikers for serious felonies. The owner of the construction company was fond of hiring ex-cons (I am not sure if this had something to do with her benefiting from a work-release program).In any case, these guys worked their butts off, were interested in learning new skills, and showed up every day on time. Some of them were good guys despite their past. They seemed grateful for the work. I am not saying this is universally true, but in my experience, they worked harder and took more responsibility for their work than some of squeaky-clean project managers and prima-donna carpenters on these jobs, who had no such troubled pasts and who came from upper middle class homes.That is why I can related to what Jamie Olive says about this subject.Jamie Oliver: Why I Hire Ex-Cons and Drop OutsHe Went From Drug-Dealing Felon To Nationally Renowned Chef.

Pros and Cons of Helping The Homeless?
First, helping the homeless does not have to be through state action. It can come through private charity. Of course, I myself do not give to homeless charities, I give my entire charity budget to a scholarship fund for poor kids to go to private schools. Better to prevent a homeless than make one more comfortable I figure. Note that most homeless in America are so either because they have mental illness, a drug habit or both. VERY few homeless have neither of these. The US has a dreadfully terrible mental health system. Most of our mentally ill end up going in and out of the prison system. We also do a dreadful job of reforming drug abusers. Drug abusers also end up with criminal records, often very long ones, even if they are not violent. The best way to reduce homeless counts is for the US to legalize/decriminalize nonviolent drug offenses, and to start creating mental hopsitals to actually provide care for the mentally diseased. Better rehab centers would also be good.
Is there any excuse for homelessness in America?
Ironically, this is from the website you gave me. "Living in Santa Monica, Kenneth is a 44-year-old man with a history of alcoholism and unemployment due to low work skills. He became homeless after being assaulted and robbed while driving a taxi. He spent five months living on the beach in a confused and disillusioned state. Finally, he was approached by an outreach worker who recommended the Santa Monica Shelter. He has been at the shelter now for four months and is attending AA meetings in the evening at the shelter. He recently got a job as a security guard and plans to move into his own apartment in two months" See? He got off his feet.
How can we better help released prisoners assimilate back into our society?
I don't think we can.Even if we made the half-hearted effort to stop further stigmatizing convicted felons by taking away their right to vote, get a security clearance, even a drivers license, they are still carrying that stigma borne by the words "convicted felon."The criminal justice system needs a massive overhaul that, to my mind, requires at least three things:stop the (often false) arrests of people for minor charges of drug use or other petty offenses;stop rewarding privatized armies called police departments and privatized prisons run by them for arresting, incarcerating, brutalizing, and destroying the families of people based primarily on the profit motive and justified by discrimination based on race and ethnicity;change the criminal justice system so that no gainfully employed person can be put into prison unless they have committed a violent crime with a knife or gun verified by such scientific evidence as DNA or blood typing.Anything less than three such drastic steps cannot change the system. Taking a person away from a decent job because the person was smoking a joint or answered a cop is setting in motion the destruction of an entire family at an enormous cost to society. We justify it by increasing fearsome stereotypes based on race and ethnicity, and we do it for the benefit of the owners of private police in prison systems.The criminal justice system has long since stopped being about criminals, and until we fix that, we can only widen the divide between "law-abiding" and "criminal."
How do I find a job after being released from prison?
When I first got out looking for a job not many would hire me with my past. The couple jobs I did get I excelled at but was not allowed to advance up the line. Because of my past I was never given raises or promotions. One day on my first year out, I made up my mind that I was not going to work for anyone but myself! I'm a highly skilled operator of heavy equipment, machinery, know how to build a house from the ground up just to name a few things I'm good at. So I took my skills out onto the open market and created my own business. I did VERY well with this!!! Only in an ethical way I ended up taking business away from those very same employers who wanted to pigeon hole me to some low level job with no future in it! I told my last employer that screwed me over, "5 Years from now I'll be sitting in a desk like you, sending men out to do work I took from you with my skills!" I did it in less than 3 years. Employers are always thinking the worst about a convict! They don't want them to interact with customers, go in their homes or businesses. I have literally been inside of 10,000 homes over the years. If you were to ask any of them about me or my company, they will tell you things like "Mr. Holmes knows his business very well, very professional, stands by all his work with guarantees he backs up, he and his men were professional and polite, they do great work and I recommend his service to my friends, neighbors and family". Not one customer I've ever had will say anything less about me or my company! So my best advice to you would be to not count on employers to give you a fair shake! Take whatever skills you are good at and create your own employment!
Why do many released convicts end up returning to prison?
The primary reasons are.They go right back to the same environment that caused them to get into crime in the first place. Same friends, same habits, same beliefs.Class warfare which makes it feel like you are betraying your class if you get an education or a good job. Class warfare makes anyone not from your background the enemy, the man, the person holding you down and discriminating against you. So entertainment, sports and crime are your only options to get out of life long poverty at min wage jobs and at the end fo that long life of tedious labor, nothing to show for it but a plot in a high crime ethnic neighborhood and being a victim of the criminals that control it.Legalize pot. It creates a drug counter culture which traps a lot of people into endless loops of job restrictions, busts for possession dirty urine tests and so on. More importantly it teaches disrespect for all laws.High crime areas that are resistant to gentrification.The utter and total lack of rehabilitation in prisons. At best they get some half arsed drug rehabilitation and maybe a GED, or a little college.End discrimination against felons for jobs in general. Yes you do not want a felon working as a bank teller, but most jobs it’s crime specific. You do not want a sexual offender working in a day care or a school. A person who burglarized a building or stole a car in their youth, who cares? So many jobs will not take a felon of any sort even if it has nothing to do with their ability to do that work.Segregate the career criminals from the folks that can be rehabilitated. All you are doing is creating new career criminals by throwing them all in together.Better mental health counseling of people in and on parole.Reforms to the probation and parole systems.
