My homeboy was told he had to move out of his girl's place because the renter doesn't allow felons. Another felon I know had to put business licenses in his friends name.

We can't complain about recidivism rates when there's friction like this for ppl trying to succeed.

He tried to get get a Realtor License. In fact any kind of insurance agent or anything requiring licensing is barred for life if you've had a 1st degree felony.

I can't vote. Cops aren't supposed to fraternize with us felons. We cant own guns. Some of these things I dont

care about. But some are important. Like having to disclose my felony on applications. I get it, you want to be safe. So do some careful vetting, but dont bar us outright for life from rejoining as full citizens.
