Ex-felons need to be given a chance

(UNEDITED)our justice system or is it.once again i need to ask what is JUSTICE???a felony doesn't matter if its for murder rape drugs or armed robbery,its all judged the same to an employer who does a crimanal back ground check,once they see felony you are automaticly seen as a menace to society.looked down upon,and over looked for employment.felony does not automaticly make you a bad person,but a person that lost their way and made stupid

choices.but in todays world its just black or white.its sad that people today are so quick to judge and condem those that have stumbled and are truley trying to become a better person.its almost next to impossible to get a job and to right your wrongs

.everybody deserves a chance if the effort is truley heart felt{ the saying goes he without sin}well we all know how it goes.and we ask why is the world so hateful.somethin has to change.why do we have so many repeat offenders no hope ofbeing accepted back

into a normal life.again some do deserve that second chance or are we to good ourselves to allow that.
