These people will be at people's homes sometimes alone in a back yard, criminals are opportunistic and rarely change.
If you tell customers you hire ex cons you will not succeed.
If you do not tell them and something happens not only will you not succeed you will be sued and bankrupt.
Simple answer just dont, let them get jobs in the mines, mills, away from civilization. This is a ridiculous idea I'm sorry you thought it was good but end all its just not
Total and utter garbage.
The bulk of people in gaol are there because of lack of proper education and down here is is principally black people.
The next largest group are there because of a drug addiction
The next largest group are people with mental - emotional problems.
These three groups account for better than 90 % of the people in prision and that is apparently roughly the same world wide in democratic countries.
And yes there are some, a very small group with a different set of moral & social values who could be called "career criminals" .
The rest go back into prision because when they come out, the circumstances that sent them there in the first place have not changed
If given proper post prision support most will never reoffend and this has been proven hundreds of times by pilot trials in every country including the USA
As far as I know, Spain & Portigal are the only two countries that are actually doing this mainstream with a near 100% success rate.
The problem is greed & envy in the "non inprisioned" section of the community making it political suiside for a politician to say " I am going to give these ex-cons a better education than your children were offered and better heath care than you get in order that they can be rehabilitated and become normal members of the community and if they can not find meaningfull employment I will support them starting a small business so they do not need to return to crime in order to live."
Every one is happy for CRIMINALS to go to prison and the more of THEM in there the better, a simple example of the base emotion of REVENGE.
And this is almost universal, untill the drug addict who supports his habbit by selling more drugs, or stealing cars is your son, daughter , cousin etc.
Then they are a troubled person, temporarily off the rails and need a little help to get back on the right track again.
Hitler used this to great effect, all of your problems are because of THEM and because of human nature we happily go along with this line.
So all we have to do is lock up all of the non-people who broke the law forever and we will all be safe & free ?
