I Would Love To See Change Made To Federal Expungement Law
I agree 100%. I think this issue affects all Americans. People who have rehabilitated themselves have no chance even after 20 years. Some people got convicted as teenagers and can't get a job at 50! The recidivism rate is so high in the U.S. because ex-felons who are trying may revert back to crime (like stealing to eat....etc) since they are given no other option. Other ex-felons end up on disability or welfare and can not contribute to society in any positive manner. Whether they end up in prison or on welfare, we are paying to support them. Some people think ex-felons don't deserve a chance but we are all paying the price with the current expungement laws. People complain about high taxes. This is a way for everyone to contribute and have a fair chance. If anyone else feels like me about this and would like to start a petition to send to congress, please let me know.
