I wouldn't want somebody with a criminal record to be responsible for the well-being of my son.

I think it's bullshit that if someone has a criminal record, they're coerced into further crime because they're denied housing and other money-making opportunities.

Both of these things are true, and one obvious place that my opinions lead is to prevent people who have hurt others from being responsible for others. But overall I haven't fleshed out every detail about where I stand, and I'm curious if you have? Please talk about it k

My reason for creating this thread is that I heard today that after a certain period of time like 2 years, the risk that someone with a criminal record poses is less than that of a non offender. I lack further details and I haven't researched for myself, so I don't vouch for this.
