melonbar: see my post about this very thing... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18704252 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18704252 I'm in much the same boat. I feel like for this to seriously change, the laws have to change. That's no small feat. As long as there are for-profit prisons, there's little/no incentive for criminal laws to change. San Francisco has the "Fair Chance Ordinance", but you actually have to LIVE there for it to apply to you. https://sfgov.org/olse/fair-chance-ordinance-fco https://sfgov.org/olse/fair-chance-ordinance-fco I have reached out to you via email, btw. It was back in November. I haven't spoken about that stuff publicly, hence the throwaway account. :/
