Do you know how hard it is for someone who is in their 50's and older to find a decent job? Add a felony conviction and a long prison stretch to the mix. How are they supposed to support themselves?

BTW I speak from experience as someone with no criminal record and a long history of steady employment who had to find work after a layoff.

I know how hard it is. I’m near retirement myself. I have a friend who, in his youth, pled guilty to a plea bargain for drug possession in exchange for no time served. Too late, he found out how hard it is to get a professional job with a big company with a criminal record. He was talented enough to make a go of it with his own small business.
