Having big companies involved lends credibility to second-chance hiring, said Tim Owens, co-founder and president of the Bloomington, Minn.-based Redemption Project, an organization that pairs inmates with mentors and jobs.“I think a lot of employers are looking at this as an untapped talent pool, and given the shortages everywhere they’re open to looking at maybe different groups they hadn’t looked at before,” Mr. Owens said.
“What we have seen is a very positive reaction from our employees,” she said. “Our second-chance hiring efforts are a great source of pride for many of our employees.” Black people are disproportionately likely to be imprisoned. In state prisons, where most convicted prisoners are incarcerated in the U.S., Black people are imprisoned at almost five times the rate of white people,And people who have been in prison tend to have lower rates of employment. Ashowed that men who had been jailed for more than six months were less likely to have jobs after their release than other men. The unemployment rate for Black Americans is above the national average—5.
Morever... fun fact... Most prisoners in US 'HAVE JOBS' while they're inmates. From firefighters to plate makers. They get paid literal pennies. It's major reason states need to operate prisoners for cheap labor. Can't get same jobs on outside because of record. Smh
Wait until you find out that migrants with 'criminal records' coming to US get jobs too. Previous arrest and conviction history is bullshit when it has excluded people from applying for jobs, schools, and loans to better themselves to get right. Crime is more appealing.
Bu insanlar, sokakta gezen sıradan insanlara göre, her tür zorluğa göğüs germiş ve tabiatıyla daha sağlam, daha uyanık ve çok daha çabuk iş bitiren insanlardır. Enough said 😅
People who have served time deserve a chance to work. There are way too many barriers in society that keep people with records from being able to move forward and not end up reincarnated.
