So are you of the opinion that people who commit major crimes should just be unemployed for life, and no effort should be made to cater to their job search? You don't realize that's a recipe for virtually guaranteed repeat offenders?
There will always be a segment of society that were bullied as kids and get their rocks off being as cruel as possible to those they believe deserve it. People like that are not part of this conversation.
That is not the same group you are referring to.

I appreciate this observation, but our prisons are predominately filled with people of color.
Really? From what I understand, the number of black inmates in prison is roughly equal to the number of white inmates (about 40%/40%). There is a large disparity in terms of the incarceration rate of people of color, but your above statement is not true.
Is anyone elses reaction "What will they think of next?" Anyone also surprised at the scope of positive and admission-comments? Anyway, best of luck!!
Testing out the Job Search functionality, there seems to be some room for improvement for returning more relevant results first.

If you're an American, there are huge parts of the country where lacking a car is infeasible. But for the sake of argument, let's say you shutter your car. You can spend a ton of time walking to, and waiting on, public buses, time you can't use to study for a degree, or be with your kids. Maybe you rely on a friend's car, but then you miss out on last-minute shift opportunities, and your friend's transport problems b…

hmmm, is this correct? It seems the real proportion is 39/40/19 among Whites/Blacks/Hispanics. https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/rates.html
>Percent of sentenced prisoners under the jurisdiction of state or federal correctional authorities, by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin, December 31, 2015
446,700 white male prisoners 501,300 black male prisoners 301,500 hispanic male prisoners 122,400 other male prisoners
Which means male adults of color (925,200) make up more than double the male white adult (446,700) state/federal prison population.

The more disturbing statistic being that 1,745/100,000 black adults are incarcerated, compared to 317/100,000 white adults.
Female incarceration rates do not follow this same trend identically according to the data, and they make up only ~7% of the total correctional population.
