Sounds good to me..
We already have "work relese programs" for inmates.
Several corection oficers I know tell me the inmates who participate in work relese, are the inmates who want to be productive members of society.
I think that the inmates who want in on these programs should also atend classes for a G.E.D., or some other form of education. I mean we spend tons of money to have these guys who lift weights, and learn to be better criminals. Why cant we redirect this cash into something that is helpfull for everyone?
As to the employers who dont hire non violent cons. I think thats plain DISCRIMINATION. Too bad you cant prove the employer is discriminating. I have famly members who made a very bad decision 10+ years ago who cant get a McDonalds job.
I dont wana sound live a bleeding heart Lib, but I would rather hire my briliant American cousin who knocked someone out in 92. Over someone who cannot speak English, has NO education, and who knows what they did where they came from?
Yeah... use imigrants to do the work we are too good for!
. Isnt that why we have the Irish?
