If we aren't willing to give second chances, then why not just have every crime receive a mandatory life sentence? Years ago, I was a manager at a fast food restaurant. I was desperate for help, and a guy came in that had just gotten out of prison for selling drugs. I hired him. He was awesome. A few weeks later, upper management found out he had a drug conviction and he was fired. I quit shortly thereafter. If we aren't willing to give opportunities to convicted felons, should we be surprised when they can't find work and then have to rob someone? Give the young man a chance.
