[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 713982, member: 18238"] Excuse me for being overly blunt here but this is a complete and utter load of crap. A felony record can affect employment but wont stop someone from finding it. I'd be willing to bet that if you look at his job history its very spotty and he wasn't a very good employee. And I say this based on the fact that I've worked in Corrections for 25 years and taught employability skills to the offenders for the last three years. If he doesn't have a job, its because he either isn't trying hard enough or is being too picky. Without more information, I'd say that his past job history is much more to blame than his criminal record. Granted, I don't know their circumstances or how hard their working at this so take what I say with a grain of salt but you yourself show doubt about his sincerity in trying to find work. I've just seen entirely too many offenders able to get good work within six months to a year of release when they tried to believe that JUST a felony record will stop someone from getting work.
