I think asking/knowing is okay, especially because gaps in work experience etc are usually a point of interest. I do think that in a perfect world knowing wouldn't mean job discrimination or workplace alienation.

Only applicable ones like murder or armed robbery but even then there should be a fair opportunity to explain the situation.

"The box" effectively extends punishment indefinitely, long after a person has completed a prison sentence. Makes it exponentially more difficult to gain employment, housing, financial stability.

If we truely believe that people who are released deserve a second chance and have served their, then why do we need to know about some of their worst moments in life? We don't ask people who have not been convicted to share their worst moments in their life.

Making them report this on applications becomes such a barrier to entry for those seeking a better life once they have reentrted society. They've served their sentence; let them be judged on who they are now rather than what they were.

Most of the time that person's criminal record has nothing to do with the job that they are seeking. If prisons are supposed to punish and reform, why, when a person leaves prison, do we continue to punish them and not allow them the opportunity to reform their lives?

How can anyone possibly have an opportunity to rebuild themselves and their lives post conviction? You must be allowed to make a mistake, we are all only human.

Just to know their history and see how they've reformed
