I walked out of jail and inside of 3 days I found a job with a temp service. Within 90 days I was hired full time and inside of a year and a half I was foreman of the paint department.
I didn’t expect special treatment and didn’t recieve any. What I did was work 12 or more hours per day, 7 days a week for nearly 4 months before I finally took a day off. I saw hundreds of other temps come and go in that time. LOL
God bless you cripplecreek. I am glad to know that there are other ex-cons out their that take responsibility for themselves. I got a job (not a great job, but a job) the day after I got out of prison
The issue as I see it isn’t second chance, with Obama. It’s more a case of preferential treatment for felons over non-felons using tax dollars because it is, on balance, racially redistributive.
