Yeah there's a sort of flaw in the fact recruiters assume jail didn't cure you of whatever put you there initially. There's a sort of obvious blame, if you screw up, on them: "you're a moron you took an ex-convict and surprise he misbehaved, you're fired, idiot". The only thing to do is to have a contingency plan. If I go to jail for a period of time I think of what I'd do: preserve whatever savings I have, make sure my wife is at peace with it and will stay or not take everything I have, that I'm fine working in construction or bag groceries, and that I can live with nothing but books, some water, pasta and a small place because that's most likely the only way the future will look if I make such a mistake. If you're at peace with it and understand life can turn that way, you're not even scared of jail anymore. I'll live through it and stay satisfied with whatever I find.
