We need a job so we can support our families. Some of us are not repeat offenders. Some of us put what we did behind us, went back to school, furthered our education, and still get denied employment. So we are being punished for the rest of our lives. It's not right.
Why is this important?
Being charged with one felony, and only one felony. It's over 13-years-old and you haven't committed another crime since you were convicted, but they're still holding it against you. It's stopping you from getting a good job. You went back to school and got degrees, certification and still get turned down for jobs because this one felony.
