That is part of committing a crime. Your supposed to be punished, so that you will think twice about what crime you committed and never commit another one. It takes a lot of amends making in America. You could go into a halfway house, and into a recovery program, and rehabilitate yourself and receive help to gainful employment, and be grateful that you have what you do have. Maybe you could get the crime expunged from there.

although this is so true and unfortunate for MEN and WOMEN as ex-cons have DONE THEIR TIME AND PAID BACK SOCIETY...our society seems to feel the need to make them continue to pay through ridicule and humiliation, such as lack of employment! the feds are well aware of this and see the return of these individuals more often than not as they end up feeling desperate and commiting crimes all over again, so they have put many programs into effect all over the country. i hope some ex-federal cons read this, in case they aren't aware....they need to check with their own city...maybe find out from those personel who work in the area that handles the cons who are being released because they ARE aware of the systems set up...for instance...in Tucson AZ, there is a place called Pima One Stop, and they will allocate certain amounts of money for various needs to these individuals RIGHT OUT OF PRISON so that they dont re-enter society with a sense of despair and hopelessness. They will give them up to $2500.00 for car, $400.00 for tools for a trade of their choice (they must return to the facility with the receipt), $400.00 for clothes, $1700.00 for living expenses or to get set up in an apartment or house rental...and other funds as well. depending on how much time they've served...many of these convicted felons qualify for disability as well...
they have lots of grants as well that are purely for ex-cons to get an education or a new trade too...most of these are for FED convicts, but some states may have some programs for state convicted folks too....
they are considered a high risk...one who will take risks and who dont care quite as much about consequences. they are simply considered dishonest people...manipulators and untrustworthy...and it's a proven fact, that our prison system isn't set up well enough to rehabilitate these folks...instead they come out 'better criminals' and 'smarter criminals' than before they went in. alot of places are aware of the major tax breaks they will get if they hire an ex con, and do so just based on that fact....the bottom dollar, depending where they are at in their books and how bad they need the break....they go into the system as a number, and these people unfortunately come out nothing less than a different number and stay highly discriminated against....what a shame.
anyone interested in these grants and programs to help recently released offenders should look on the net for further cash/living assistance.

This is the consequence for having an immoral and criminal past. Some people just aren't willing to forgive or take the risk of hiring a criminal.

That isn't the case of two employers my husband has worked for. There were MANY ex-cons working there. My husband wasn't one of them! LOL

Because they have proven that they have no respect for other people by committing crimes against them. They are unreliable people who have put a black mark against their names. They have to live with the consequences of their actions.

If you are refering to yourself I would have to say it has something to do with your spelling and punctuation, or it could be because your black, like most inmates.
