Should former felons be given a second chance for a job and new life? I was lead to believe that good habits and better decision making would eventually lead to a good job and life but after nearly 2 years trying to find a steady work I’m finding it very hard to stand firm to that resolve. Politicians tand the media talk about second chance programs all the time but nothing ever gets done. What else can I do to convince managers to give me a 2nd chance? Please GOD, don't forsake me!
