A lot of people need more than a second chance, or a third chance, or a fourth chance etc. In example, a person who grew up around cars and racing is more likely to understand how to control a car and won't require as many chances to get driving correct when they reach that age than a person who has never given a second thought about it; a short person may require many more attempts to dunk a basketball than a tall person; a deaf person might need unlimited attempts to hear a song be played.

Drove into the town hour later and got arrested. Still cost me 4,000 dollars, what I had in my 401k. Big jacked up deal. It needs reformed really bad. People underestimate how strong just a witness testamony can be and corrupt police. I was lucky and had a witness (girl I was going to see) on the phone on the drive. Bouncing off towers with a live call. But.... that doesnt matter. You still spent big money just getting to prove your point and case.

I am a felon. The last line of this video is kind of misleading. To get your gun rights back you must first get your civil rights back which means you can now run for office and vote and in most cases it seals your charges on your record so average jobs and landlords can't see it on a background check only police and military can still see it. Then after all that is done you're welcome to get yourself a lawyer and petition to the court and then go in front of a judge to try and convince him that you should have your firearm rights back. I did all this it took me 10 years. You guys were correct on the job thing though. I got turned down for so many jobs the first 7 years

Lobo Gaming, I think you did amazing, if u got ur rights back after being a felon, you must have had a harsh discipline on your self, and I am sorry that the system is a little messed up in the fact that, if you become a felon it becomes harder for you to find a job, and that could lead you to continue committing crimes which lands you back in jail. Overall, I think you did a great job.
In Norway and many other developed nations, if you committed the equivalent of a felony, it's almost like nothing has happened after you have done your time. Just applying for a job and expect the same chances as someone with an empty rap sheet. I am actually glad that I have an empty rap sheet. There are people that have to deal with a burden on their life only because of an arrest record for a felony crime and not an actual conviction which is outright terrible.

It’s a nice way of saying that you have a Criminal record or known as a criminal. Also I think it should depend on the severity of the crime and whether it causes harm to others. For me, my record has always been squeaky clean and I plan on keeping it that way my entire life. Especially with the type of career I hope to get into that involved working with vulnerable people ❤️❤️

I LOVE YOU FOR THIS INFOGRAPHICS!!! *MOST* felons are good people who were either self-medicating and became addicted, or non-violent offenders who have grown past their mistakes... I'm from NH & while I believe ALL perps who have victims (pedos, abusers, killers, etc) should NEVER be able to escape their records - I also know from my own experience that OUR COUNTRY NEEDS TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO GROW PAST THEIR OLD MISTASKES!!!!

In Michigan, if you use a motor vehicle in a crime, including traveling to get to the crime or leaving the scene, whether a driver or a passenger, you can be denied a driver's license. This applies to many drug offenders who may use a car for transporting drugs.

And then we wonder why recidivism is such a problem as though it had nothing to do with the way we hate on them. In this way society truly is the problem, and a mass attitude shift needs to happen, because if jobs were easier to get after prison recidivism would go down because jobs aren't merely about getting luxuries for ourselves, they're about survival. Not to mention in this way these crimes have a life sentence because it will haunt you for life.

An intelligent, enlightened society would place emphasis upon reintegrating those transgressors who have fallen short then paid their debt. An apathetic and adverse society would continue to punish them, and regard them as expendable.
I will say that time passing does matter. My father is a convicted fellon and decided to make his own business instead of working for someone else, which helped in the earlier years of his life. After some 20+ years he was able to maintain a job in his field, Software Engineering, because he was able to prove he was skilled enough and had experience post-lockup.
If you have a felony on your record because you were convicted of a non violent crime, Hire an attorney to work with you in order to get that felony permanently expunged/sealed off your record.

Poor man sells an ounce of weed to make rent, gets busted, goes to jail for 18 months with a felony conviction. Man is released and cannot find job, cannot find a home, cannot do anything without violating parole. So, poor man with no job and no home steals a loaf of bread to survive and is busted, goes back to jail. See the problem here? Until prison's primary goal is rehabilitation, until the system gives these people a chance and opportunity prison will always be a revolving door for most. Prison is business, makes big money and business is good.

@@msharp6887 that is a lie. I’ve lived it. And a large percent of felons reoffend, die, lack opportunity, or have shorter life expectancy. Without a good support system you basically are as good as dead. The first couple years are the hardest, you WILL be struggling. If you manage to make it past 7years you may have a chance to somewhat normalize your life without reoffending.
I was convicted of drug crime about ten years ago and I can attest to how hard it was to find a job for the first few months. The only thing I could get was dishwasher and that was only because they couldn't find anyone else and I had a four year college degree. I knew lots of other people I was locked up with who wanted to go straight but ended up going back to crime because they couldn't find a job after they got out and there was no support system to help them. Its a revolving door and only 2 out of 3 felons actually stay out of jail once released.

Personally, I think I'd go straight back to illegal activities if I couldn't get a job. What choice do they have? I understand that people deserve punishment, especially if it's a bad crime, however, destroying their life going forward will stop them from complete rehabilitation.

I definitely agree. I was watching this show "Kid Killers" I think it's called and one case really stood out. This guy was 13 when he shot and killed his favorite teacher. It was a very impulsive killing and had mental health awareness been what it is today, I don't think he would've gotten nearly as much time. Anyway, he was sentenced to 28 years so he has 8 more years before being released. His lawyer was saying how he hopes he'll make good decisions upon release but what chance does he have? He has spent over half his life in prison, many of which were his formative years. At the age of 41 he'll be a convicted murderer of a very high profile case. Even if he has managed to get his GED, a degree, and job training the chances of someone hiring him are extremely low. He most likely won't even be equipped mentally to deal with life outside of prison. He really doesn't even have a chance. It's quite sad. The US has more people in prison than any other country as well as the highest incarceration rate despite having some of the the harshest punishments. Obviously our way isn't working to reduce recidivism or success rate upon release but nothing seems to be even in the hopes of changing
Heck... with this job environment in 2021... truck driving pays more than some people who has their Master's college degree.

I am a Felon. Not only does being a felon prevent you from everything mentioned in this video one big thing they didn't mention is that you can't get business loans either. You're technically allowed to so I'm sure there's rare or very influenced situations that it happens but one of the things they use to determine a loan is "moral turpitude" or a similar phrase but they use it to dig up your record and deny you. So it's much more difficult to get the money needed to start a small business and work for yourself as well as being hired by anyone to work for at liveable wages. The prison industrial complex is a real thing!
