Today over 1 in 8 people are convicted felons and almost 1/3 of those felons were first time offenders. Our society is made to believe that all felons are bad people and don't have the ability to change for the better and contribute to society in a positive way. Most felons have families, bills, and the same problems we all face in everyday life. The system, which is made to protect us and teach us to become law abiding citizens, continues to fail us and repress us from living that American Dream. Most felons learn their lesson usually after their first offense, but some continue to go through the revolving door. Once your classified as a felon, your chances for getting a good paying job are cut completely off. Some felons are people with college degrees or have the skills to run successful businesses, and have to settle for minimum wage, dead end jobs that won't even pay a third of the everyday bills and expenses they have.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of felons out there with ulterior motives and no will to change. Child molesters, rapist, murderers, and drug traffickers / dealers are among the worst felons in our communities. I'm referring to the less serious kind of felon who were peer pressured or forced in a way to commit crimes. The real good hearted. There are also some felons who feel doomed, and do all they can to survive - even if it means breaking the law. Although there are also felons out there who want to do right and are never given the chance, even after all their dues are paid to society. My mission is to find employment all over the U.S. for felons who are serious about getting back on track and becoming outstanding citizens for their families as well as our society. If you have any suggestions, questions, or comments, please E-mail me: queenspliff@yahoo.com Together we can weed out all the real bad apples and give others in need a second chance at life and success.

We can't continue to contribute to a felon's wrongdoings but we can show them all how to do right, because most of them want to be trusted to show the seriousness needed to prove others wrong. It's never too late for change.

I completely agree with you and widh there was a way to help. Like you, I have written in to my local paper giving my opinion on the subject but in most cases, it is not printed. No one knows the pain an ex-felon goes through unless they are one or have one in their family. Most people deserve a 2nd chance especially if they have proven they have chnaged or it's been several years since the offense with no backslides.
