I guess some ex-cons are upset about not working there anymore ... :-) ...

I understand from people I know in the justice system that it is difficult for ex-cons to get just any job, being convicted of a felony, relatively recently. But, that’s just the way it goes. A lot of people don’t want them around, and they don’t have to take them. They’ll just need to put a few years between the felonies and “now”. Once they have proven themselves over a period of time, then things will get better for them.

AND ... for Swordmaker ... I don’t know whether this is worthy of the list or not. You can take a look ... :-) ...

The Apple naysayers are looking for anything to smear Apple as being less than perfect. Apple required the discharge of fewer than FIVE (four? three?) ex-convicts from the construction crews working on the new Apple Headquarters building in Cupertino. Now some are calling Apple out for not being open to hiring ex-criminals for work they may be capable of doing. . . ignoring that their are valuables on the property that may be tempting. Depending on the type of crime, it might be reasonable to exclude the ex-convicts. — PING!


Is Apple discriminating against ex-convicts?
Ping!

I understand why nobody wants to hire an ex-con but that has to be driving the recidivism rate. When you can't get an honest job, you might as well turn back to crime.

What is the answer? Keep them locked up for life?
