Why should someone who's paid their debt to society be forever stripped of their rights, to include the access to housing? If they're still a threat to the populace, they shouldn't be free. By perpetuating the social stigma of being a "felon"; denying access to employment, denying access to housing..you do nothing but encourage recidivism..and continue the vicious cycle..which is exactly what your government and for-profit prison industrial complex wants.
- A productive member of society who was once a court date away from being a convicted felon.
