once someone has committed a crime, should society add to the problem by making it hard to get a job

yes majority of people that commit crime truly learn from their mistakes.you see real criminals do not search for jobs,because they rob and steal or whatever for a living.if jesus died for us to have a second chance to get into heaven then why doesn't our society give second chances?

If a person is not guilty of felony violence or a sexual crime then I believe a person should be reintroduced to society and be given the right to work. I Think that as part of the prison release program there should be a work release program where a parolee is educated in a trade and put to work. When they are put to work I believe that a percentage of the parolee's paycheck each month should go to pay back the trade school until the tuition is paid off. I believe this is the best way to keep parolee's from ending up back in prison. They are given something to work towards, something to be proud of and a way to make a living. I wish this was already instituted and less time was spent in prison for non-violent offenders and more time spent in learning a trade! I think a trade school would cost a lot less than prison and I don't believe prison will make as much rehabilitative difference as giving a person a trade so they will not steal, be active in a gang (they won't have time when working), not need drugs to feel good about themselves etc... I think having a job makes a big difference in a persons life.

This is a REAL question that most people, who have never commited a crime and,never lost their jobs do not and have not thought about such a question!First of all,I belive that the system was not designed for every"American" to have a job and to create an established foundation for most individuals and their families.In today's society if a person commits a crime, he can pretty much forget about getting a good job.Society has tried to exclude them from what every person must do in order to live in this world and, that my friend is WORK!!! God forgives us for the sins we commit but this society will try to condem you and put it on paper!This is one of the reasons why the economy is in the situation it's in!No jobs and no work!! I don't condone violence or crime but once a person pay thier debt to society they should be allowed to work where they can.If a man can't work he is idle,restless,unconfident,scared and confused because they can't find work because their background is always in the forefront.This system is designed to break people who don't "fit in" with the design. But all it has done is keep more crime on the rise.Some people feel like If they can't work then,they might as well do dirt!In realtity and truth they are the ones doin the most dirt.I belive we are obliged to help people in these situations to help them get thier lives together. Thank You for this puestion. It's something we all should be talking about. Take care and stay encouraged.

I believe that it would depend highly on the crime that was committed, the individual, and any other relevant circumstances. The legal system does take into consideration pardons for reasons such as employment and travel.

No, the society is not fair.They take the lively hood of our loved ones away when they put their crimes out there keeping them from getting a job. When they do whatever they have to do to make it then they are looked down on as a minus to society or less. It's not right.
