My uncle, bless him, is an engineer with his own successful firm and he almost exclusively hires people who have spent time in prison. When I first heard this as a teenager, I thought he was a lunatic. Then I spent some time at his office many years ago.
He loves helping his employees become educated, gives them time to learn necessary skills, and then pays them well to help them build a good life. I love my Uncle Fred and will never forget this valuable lesson he taught me about second chances.

How are parolees supposed to become members of society again if no one gives them a chance?! Good for the shop for standing up for their employees.
