Jail is an easy solution. It is not the best solution. Peole dwell in there for years until they parole. Some go nuts. In fact, many get out messed up because of jail. Crazy stuff happens in jail. Common sense can somtimes suffer from tunnel vision if you are not open. Not all prisoners are bad persons. Anyways, I don't feel like arguing much. I think it's a great idea. A second a chance. Cars, you've been behind bars?

32 years ago 2 felonies one crime.
Been arrested 4 times over the years for fighting at race tracks.
So I guess I am a bad person that will never be a productive member of society.

When I got out of jail I got a job on a golf course.
30 years later here I am living my dreams.

Jails aren't the solution. Jails are for people who have been arrested and are waiting for bail or are being held pending a plea agreement, trial, or sentencing. From there you can end up on county lockup for a period depending on the sentence and your record. It takes a lot of offenses before you earn the right to go to the prison establishment. It's funny how some people view the situation of people in prison and actually feel bad for their situation when for the most part there all there of their own doing.

Jail is also for people serving 2 1/2 years or less.
I am all about second chances. Do I feel bad for anyone in prison? Heck no they put them selfs there. I have hired a lot of guys on parole. Not every one has worked out some went back to prison. Some now work for them selfs. Most work hard and never miss a day.

Wrong again.

To the original poster,
For some specific lawn care advice ric has seasoned experienced factual opinions.
Based on his experience from doing the job for years, he would be a valuable asset.
On any other topic a thorough vetting of his answers is advised.
You posed a provocative question. Good luck in your venture.


PS. I wonder sometimes how legit some of these questions are.

Go ask a few of your customers opinions.

All your b.s no one actually cares what the customer thinks. Do you not realize without the customer you are nothing.

I dare you ask a few of your customers... I have and they all said they wouldn't hire someone who hires cons. And if they were deceived and anything ended up missing or broken they would tell everyone they knew.

Not all publicity is good. I'm disappointed you would be so deceitful. Whatever happened to honesty?

Don't ask don't tell.
People don't mind when the county or state inmate work crews are removing a tree off their house. Or picking trash up on the road sides.
More people are ok with it then you would think.

It's people like you that think you are better then other people. Without people giving them jobs they have no chance to better their lives.

So am I to believe that you give all your customers a resume for all your employees ?

I am pretty sure no one knew here that you were in jail. It changes nothing around here. Just like if clients didn't know you went to jail. You have a good company and seem to make good money. You are very usefull around here. We don't need to know the past. All tho, it may help a few here that are judgementeal about ex cons.

How many customers did you talk to? You need to ask a lot of people before concluding. It isn't representative. Ever heard of statistics. We don't just go out and ask like 5 people about abortion, jail, etc.

We have all hidden stuff in life from others. Every body lies.

You could not be more wrong if you tried.

According to The Economist, not exactly what one would call a soft lefty socialist publication, last year 12,500,000 Americans were detained 2,700,000 were in a prision of some kind and 700,000 exited the system so no it does not take much to end up in gaol in the USA.
Apparently children get sent to prision for running away from home.


I pinched this chart from a report by By Peter Wagner and Leah Sakala March 12, 2014

Add to that the lobbying of private run for profit prison companies are doing for increased sentencing ( they are doing the same here ) and idiot legislations like 3 strike policies and it is blindingly obvious that it ain't hard to get into a prision in the USA.

Now if 700,000 get released each year and making a bold assumption that they not the same 700,000 each year, a hell of a lot of citizens have done time at least once in their lives.
