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.

They have done their time. We need to practice forgiveness, all the time.

They don't need to know my birthday or whether or not I'm married, so they shouldn't be allowed to ask for this either.
