Since many jobs require background checks and many more job applications ask applicants whether they have ever been convicted of a felony, it can be very difficult (if not impossible) for people released from prison to find “legitimate” jobs. Do you think all people with felonies on their record should have to report them to any prospective employer who asks? Can you come up with an alternative policy that could help give former prisoners a better chance at providing for themselves and their families through legal work?
