Straight out of college, not straight out of prison for being an accessory to somebody getting loaded with buckshot.

  That sounds nice and dramatic, but I don't see how a terrible choice someone made 10 years ago says anything about how trustworthy they are with regard to financial or personal information. It seems you're leaving out the assumption: once a criminal, always a criminal.

    Well, this graph does shed some light on that... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recidivism#/media/File:Recidivism_1994.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recidivism#/media/File:Recidiv... For white collar crime, which seems most relevant to the topic at hand, the recidivism rate is slightly less at about 48%. https://www.ncjrs.gov/App/publications/abstract.aspx?ID=145143 https://www.ncjrs.gov/App/publications/abstract.aspx?ID=1451...

      One argument some people will want to make is: This possibly speaks more about how our current incarceration methods are failing society, than it does about any particular person who’s been incarcerated.

  The article said it was birdshot, not buckshot. Still a crime but birdshot is far less lethal than buckshot.
