You can but you have to give someone a second chance.

Do we want people to redeem themselves or we do want to keep them behind bars?

People need to be evaluated on a case by a case basis not on what’s on a sheet of paper.

OK, so we give some (all ?) of them a 2nd chance.

Please share your penetrating insight with us so that we may predict which will likely resume their criminal activities and which won't?

What are the criteria of your "case by case" evaluation and how will they make us safe?

I’ve employed felons. Even those involved with murder. I do accept help on a case by case nature.

maybe so but given the high unemployment rate and number of people looking for a job, it seems that businesses don’t need to take a chance on an ex-criminal.

sometimes consequences are permanent. there should be jobs they can’t hold based on what they themselves did. hell, some people that don’t have records still can’t qualify for many, many jobs.
