- danielfoster 7y agoBig Herc is an OG.
- unixhero 7y agoI got to say yes, that's a straight up great channel. "Gotta learn how not to get your wig split".
- cmauniada 7y agoI really thought the article would be about him.
- cheez 7y agoSame
- trianglem 7y agoSeriously, it's always some woman author at NYT that has to go find some woman to write a story about. When did liberal start meaning feminist?
- ozzmotik 7y agoim somewhat surprised this wasn't about AfterPrisonShow [0], that's quite a wonderful channel and it is great to see someone who managed to turn their life around and also turn a negative part of their life into a positive and to help educate and assist others.

- manigandham 7y agoAll criminal records should be sealed to the public as long as there are no truly egregious (violent/murder/etc) crimes. Society can't expect people to do their time and integrate back if it never gives them a chance. The lifetime branding of "felon" is one of the biggest issues in recidivism and creating career criminals.
- asimilator 7y agoThere's a strong case for public records (and public trials) as a check on the government. Public records allow public scrutiny of government action.
- WalterBright 7y agoThe ex-con should be empowered to decide upon release whether his criminal record is public or private. The only time a private record will be read is in sentencing him for a subsequent conviction.
- auiya 7y agoThe flip side to allowing this is the probability of incentivization/intimidation by gov't to cover up past prosecutorial wrong-doings. There's no good solutions it seems.
- heymijo 7y agoThat's the original intent for expungement of records. Two challenges: 1) Criminal records are digital and searchable online now. Hard to expunge the internet. 2) Employers in the U.S. now ask "have you ever been convicted of a crime greater than a minor traffic violation or ever had any records expunged?' - As long as employers can ask question #2, the purpose of expunging records/your idea are rendered useless.
- cheez 7y agoJust lie and say no worst is you don't get the job
- heyalexej 7y agoArticle could have included a few other great examples. Titan Gilroy of TITANS of CNC for example. Among many other programs, he has helped building a huge CNC school/shop at San Quentin State Prison. https://www.youtube.com/user/titanamericanbuilt/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/titanamericanbuilt/videos
- valley-green 7y agoRip off of AfterPrisonShow. She ain’t the first felon you tuber
- ecf 7y agoIn my opinion, those who’ve went through life being very safe and not doing anything risky that would warrant going to prison should have an advantage compared to those who were convicted. Prison records should never be hidden. Let those in charge of the decision weigh the pros and cons.
