Ex-felons need jobs too. They have families and bills to pay. Many states won’t allow drug-related felons to get welfare. So... they have to get some sort of a job to live. If our goal in prison is to punish and rehabilitate, then after they’ve completed their time, there needs to be assistance in getting a job. If we don’t have legitimate jobs for ex-felons, we’re basically guaranteeing that they’ll resort to committing crime.

I find your use of the word "we" somewhat disturbing. Who is this "we"? .

Feel free to hire all the ex-felons you wish at your company; but keep your collectivism out of mine.
