- gamblor956 7y agoIf you really want to be pedantic, felons can petition to have their criminal records expunged, including most felonies, and therefore would be former felons.
- goodluckchuck 7y agoThis former felon talk encourages crime. It suggests that it’s okay to commit serious crimes, because you will be welcomed back to society and have a second chance. Why not give it a try? It’s dangerous and bad for society. It’s one thing to do it. To hire folks who’ve served their time, etc. Its another to talk as if there isn’t and shouldn’t be a stigma to crime.
