It's not the asking that is so much the problem as it is the discriminating because of it.

A person should not be labeled or punished because of their actions on the worst day of their lives

I think that experience in incarceration shouldn't be stigmatized in the way that it is. Employers should be able to ask about prior convictions, but they should also consider that history as telling and powerful experiences that can provide valuable intel

This should not come up until after full consideration has been given and a decision has been made. It should only affect the decision then if the position directly correlates to the "crime."

The only way to prevent discrimination in the hiring process is to eliminate the question.

Not in all cases depending on nature of job u are applying for. In today's hiring practices it is abused and widely over construed mostly in order to meet quotas. In the short term the overall effects are disingenuous. In the long term it is self defeating. Because rehabilitation and reintegration into society is not being acheived. Which is supposedly the main goal of prisons since the majority of people in prison will once again be members of our society. If someone is applying for a job that has certain pre requisites or puts you in a position of trust or requires transparency ect,However the majority of jobs that someone in that demographic would apply for do not.

They already served their time. If we want to punish them their whole life, why let them out?
