Question

Would you hire someone who committed a crime and subsequently did their time and is looking to honestly reintegrate into the fabric of our society?

I know there are a lot of "depends" in there but, as a general value, would you?

I would.

We expect felons to pay their debt and dues and hope they rehabilitate. Do we not bear a little responsibility to make the rehab a success? I recognize it's easy to assert they committed a crime of their own free will (assuming of course they weren't coerced into it) and that it's not our problem to help out but surely we'd be all the better for it if we considered it?

    Agrre with you on this one but it is a tough call. In children day care though I would hire a convicted paedophile.

    It is a tough call. Obviously it depends on the situation - like the one you mentioned. If I were to do that it would be a great irresponsible act.
