Second Chance Act is about giving college graduate felons a chance to clean their record, and have a second chance to work for the companies who do not hire felons. People change.
Why is this important?
My issue concerns college students who currently have a felony. I believe that if a person has done their time, and has completed probation with no further charges, that a person's felony charge should automatically be erased if they have completed a Bachelors Degree. Of course some charges will not be considered, depending on the level of the offence, but people like me who has done everything in society to reinvent themselves deserve a second chance in the workforce. I have been offered good jobs, but with my felony, I was not able to be employed. With enough signatures and lots of people who suffer from these old mistakes, we should have the right to prove ourselves in society as a changed person.
