I know that there is a program at the local Employment Division here in Oregon, at least there is in Salem, for ex convicts. I am not quite sure of all of the help they give to ex cons, but I do know that they try to help them to get a job. Maybe check with the local Employment Division and find out what they have. If they don't have anything, then maybe they can lead him to where he needs to go.

The answer to this question is self help. The`system is setup for most ex-cons to fail. They are jailed, sit idle in a prison system, then released with no rehabilitation. They get out into society and try to fill out applications. One question stops them in their tracks. Have you been convicted of a felony in the last ten years? Lie or tell the truth? That is one of the reasons why 3 out of 4 cons go back to prison within the first year of release. I would suggest finding a labor job in construction. There are some programs the government created that help pay part of the wages of felons to employers for hiring them.

I have worked with "good" ex cons. I do not see the problem.
Their time has been payed, and they should deserve a job!
I thought training was supplied by the prison- guess not.
I hope everything will work out for him well. Prison/jail is like a death sentence with all the AIDS!
Hopefully, he does not have that.
If he absolutely can not find a job, then he shoud try ssi or disability., there is an exclusion for non-hireables. If he served time in the militarty and has a disability---there is service connected.

On individual case by potential of case foundation this would paintings. even nonetheless it by no potential will. the cost of coaching or retraining a soldier is rather costly maximum people who have committed crimes have a bent to be disrespectful to authority. and all it takes one apple to ruin an entire barrel. those with drug convictions advertising or making use of . might you enable a common felon shield your toddlers? or a convicted drug broker be instructor on your extreme college gadget . i think of not because of the fact it could harm and convey dire outcomes. its a shame that we can't supply specific human beings 2nd possibilities allot of human beings would deserve it yet are we prepared to gamble the present for that. i don't think of so. i'm not perfect and at situations the thoughts I even have made interior the previous nonetheless haunts me to this present day. I have not got anybody in charge yet myself for that . too many situations convicts repeat the stuff they do and it makes it harder to grant convicts a 2nd probability. your son offered drugs . i think of he belongs the place he would desire to be and any reprieve from his cutting-edge sentence would not earnings him interior the long-term different than grant him the liberty and honor that lots of troops did so by potential of at their very own hand.
