Uh, no. Who the heck thought up that idea?
From what I understand when my company hires a regular person with no criminal record they recieve a 2500 dollar tax break. But when they hire an ex-con they recieve 5000 dollars.
I'm at a complete loss to imagine what that policy's inventor thought it would improve...
Isn't it obvious?! Felons can rarely find work of any kind, which is one of the main reasons for recidivism. This program is designed to try to reduce this.
That said, with what jobs pay these days, committing felonies makes a lot of sense.
