So are you saying that, in a time of high unemployment, those convicted of violent crimes should get preference because if they don’t they will act violently?
No, but if no one hires them what do you eventually expect?? Hell, even an accusation or a ‘not guilty’ verdict can ruin your life since it follows you. Once you have finished your sentence there should be no more punishment. USA has more than 2 million in jail, imagine how many more are out or on parole. What to do with them?
