Some people deserve a second chance.

I see drug-dealers as rapist/molesters.
What reason?

They NUMB the capacity of the kids to FEEL and to THINK.
Same way a rapist/molester does.
It is the same result.

Hire them? &^*&^*&*&^ NO.
Arson and shoplifter?

Yes.
Why?

One burns things to erase their source of anger.
One takes things to appropriate vicarious love.
(same mechanism as anorexia/bulimia, only it is a different venue than food: It is an object an attempt to transmogrify certain feelings/memories).

To hire anyone, a felonious person, is to hire someone who is legally, and possibly morally, and possibly socially-handicapped.
There will be baggage one way or another.

But if Society never hires any of these people?
Society is just begging for a heavy weight to carry within the social-system some other way...... Hiring is least objectionable method of which to deal with felons.
Some are very open to the positive-benefits of counseling.
Those ones can very easily be engrafted into the the normal-workplace.
And I think it should be done.

I do not believe anyone started out in life thinking, "gee, I wanna be a felon when I grow up".......;-)
You know what I'm saying?

I'm just saying........

Sure, you could have an ex-hacker work for an anti-virus company, or a burglar work for a home security company.

Yes, it is a good idea especially if you're planning something like a bank job. Hiring an experienced felon, preferably with firearms experience, would be essential.

I believe it has to be a case by case situation. You cannot broad brush this. A rapist is clearly a different type of criminal than an arsonist. Or a shoplifter vs a drug dealer.

Most major corporations do not want to take away an immense downside to committing crimes.
As well, not many other employees feel comfortable with a former felon working with them.
Human resources has to make some touch decisions but when it comes down to hiring a felon, it just isn't worth it.
