Hiring someone who had served time in prison

If I were given an incentive to hire a recently released offender, such as the government paying the employee's salary, I would be even more likely to do so. This is because it would remove the financial risk of hiring someone with a criminal record.

Under what circumstances would I hire a person who had spent time in jail or prison? I would hire someone who had served time in prison if they were:

• Honest and trustworthy: I would want to be confident that the person I was hiring was someone who could be trusted to do their job and not to commit any crimes.
• Rehabilitated: I would want to be sure that the person I was hiring had taken steps to address the issues that led to their criminal behavior and that they were unlikely to reoffend.
• Motivated to succeed: I would want to hire someone who was motivated to get their life back on track and who was willing to work hard to succeed.
• A good fit for the job: I would also want to make sure that the person I was hiring was a good fit for the job and that they had the skills and experience necessary to do the job well.

I believe that it is important to give people who have served their time in prison a second chance. By hiring people with criminal records, we can help them to rebuild their lives and become productive members of society.

Yes, I believe that we as a society tend to continue punishing those who have served their time in prison. One of the main reasons that offenders recidivate is that they are unable to find and hold a job. This is because many employers are hesitant to hire someone with a criminal record, even if they have been rehabilitated.

If I owned a business, I would be willing to hire someone who had served time in prison over another applicant if they were both equally skilled. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance, and I would be willing to give someone who has served their time the opportunity to prove themselves.
