As I stated in my original post, according to the author of "Arrest-
proof Yourself" many corporations have quietly adopted a policy of
either not hiring or discreetly firing people who have ever been
arrested. This has the real-world effect of closing such people off
from many relatively high-end positions.
(Note: I am *not* -- repeat: not -- talking about people who lied
upon employment application forms, so let's please not go down that
irrelevant and distracting side-issue.)
The author labels the result of this practice as sending such people
to the "electronic plantation" of low-end, low-paying jobs, where
they very well may spend the rest of their working lives, regardless
of their education and past work history.
Are you honestly saying this corporate policy doesn't bother you and
that in your opinion such a practice is "just good business"?
Given your very prominent association with NCSF, I'm most eagerly
awaiting your on-list reply.
Most sincerely,
Jay Wiseman
