I've employed or worked with many ex-cons in my years. It was always the good guys who screwed up.

- jacknews 8y agoI'm sure a good percentage of prisoners are there due to one stupid mistake, and many (hopefully most), leave prison reformed, or even enter prison reformed. I'm 100% for giving ex-cons a helping hand, and for offering training while they are prisoners - coding, of course, why not, it's a valuable skill. But that's not at all the same thing as having them sit monitoring/dev-oping production systems, which on the one hand is exploiting the prisoners, and on the other, exposes an obvious channel for un-reformed criminals to exploit. So yeah, prisoners doing devops work (rather than just devops training) is a dumb idea.
