Life is goes around. ‘We learnt from past mistake that we
did‘because experience is the best teacher for us. Who are we to judge someone
from past experience. Ex-convicts must face uphill battle after release from
incarceration especially on public’s view. Some of them must have problem with
the society in their life. So, there are some public’s views towards
ex-convicts are Equal Opportunities in the society, Job Opportunities and must
face with Society Punish Them For Life.
The first
public’s view towards ex-convicts is should be given them Equal Opportunities
as other in the society (Category Achieves: Acceptance, 2012). What is public
should given equal opportunities to ex-convicts is motivate them by just
treating them normally. According to (Lochana, 2012) we can’t treat them like
prisoner who had been jailed for ten years just because they did one wrong deed
because everybody makes mistake. In addition, if we not treat them normally it
is impossible that they might go back into their criminals. So, as a public
must treat them normally like others. Besides that, we should treat them fairly
without prejudice and discrimination means treat them similarly like others
without comparison for them and public. In addition, we are not excluded them
in any event and not keeping distance away from people (Mindy, 2012). Moreover,
in given equal opportunities we should be given second time for them to prove
that they have already changed. According to (Kaiqi, 2012) we can’t judge them
based on the one mistake that they made means we can’t punishes them based on
small or huge mistake that they did. Then, from other side as a public we
should to forgive them and give a chance. In addition, According to (Carter,
2005) John Shegerian, a fresno businessman creating a new venture and giving
them a second chance.
The second view
to ex-convicts is Job Opportunities for them. Employment is important for them
to survive in life. So they need to get a job but some companies that would be
employ them work if have any skill assessment and available resource. So that
ex-convict should be especially diligent in accessing skill sets they bring to
the market job (Chriss, n.d). In addition, they also have that skill during in
the prison because they have training in that period. So that, they can use
that skill to find a job. According to (Chriss, n.d) they have expert insight
because at America, ex-convict can destroy which is erases the criminal record
from the system but it is not available in all law and the process to obtain
this varies from state to state. In the other side there have discrimination in
job opportunities for ex-convicts (Metcalf, n.d) means risk of re-offending
job. Some of companies are likely to reject most people with a criminal record.
Moreover maybe they afraid if employ ex-convicts will damage their company
reputation. In the other ways, some company will employ them but should have
any qualification. So it is not fair to others that not have any qualification
because 43 per cent at prison are without qualification. (Rolfe, n.d).
Last is society
punishes ex-convicts for life. Public can’t accept them but extending punish
them after release from prison (Devan, 2004). According to (Manza, 2004) at
America if ex-convict want to continue studies, they will be bar from
opportunities for Pell Grants, the largest type of student loan. Besides that,
the society also exclude them right to do that should for them. So if public
not justify them right to survive, how they want to continue life after release
from prison. The society also excludes them to get occupational licensing work,
access to public housing or social program at America. Besides that, they also
not get right to perform in political right to vote. According to (bush, n.d)
society also stop their authorities for life. So, ex-convicts face serious
challenges in securing stable housing. According to federal housing policies,
all public-housing authorities, section 8 providers and federally assisted
housing programs are permitted or required to deny housing to people with
criminal convictions.
The conclusion,
right now most people cannot accept the existence of ex-convicts. Society
thinks they are always done a wrong deed but we must believe on them because
nobody is perfect. If they not get any support from public, it’s not impossible
they will repeat the same mistake again. So, the public is the main factor to
make sure they must have reasons why should throughout this problem together
and public must give acceptance in view’s for ex-convicts.
