The cause? The lack of mobility when you get one of these ludicrous charges for the rest of your life. Get a felony, and we know how many cheesy ones there are, kiss getting a job that will get you out of the mindset you might need to do some crime goodbye.

You are now a second class citizen.

That is what you want to see more of?
I agree a felony makes a severe dent, but I also agree that’s where we have to do better as a system to first give people a second chance if they truly are repentant after counseling and then with a first starter job show they are willing to get it right. With those 2 blocks checked, then as a system we need recognize the rehabilitation and make record expungements or purges available if….. if the applicant has checked all the blocks.
