After more than 20 years in corrections, I can spot an ex-inmate (there is no such thing as an ex-convict) as easily as they can spot an umarked police car. The give away for me is their eyes. Most inamtes develop a certain hardness around ther eyes that never goes away. Willie Nelson, Weylon Jennings, Johnny Paycheck, Johnny Cash, all have, or had, it. They also walk, stand, and talk in a manner which is very decernable to me. I can't explain exactly how I can tell but I can, and with remarkable accuracy.

Does it make a difference, some people who look like they are the epitome of what society thinks they should look like have been to jail or prison. Then there are some who look like mass murderers and have never been locked up. This is one of the things that makes it hard to function in the world today. Being judged or criticized, and on the other hand considering what have been happening with terrorists in our country then you are right to be cautious.

sometimes you can tell from their behaviour or facial expression when something happened that involved police.
but seriously, why do we want to do that? I mean, it isnt fair to judge ppl frm their old background. accept ppl for what they are now, not their past.
if they really turn over a new leaf, it will be unfair to them thus will only encouraged them to get back to their old habit. and who goin to be blame? us? no. its them.. it will always be them which i think society is the one at fault; dont accept them as who they are now and judge them based on their past.

They're the ones in the orange jumpsuits with their hands and feet shackled (assuming they just escaped from prison, of course).

You can't tell they look like normal people.
