[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 739811, member: 23349"] That's C's situation too. He has just the one conviction and was sentenced to only time served. The other person involved was also arrested and convicted. It was five years ago, with no arrests since. But it's a DV felony charge, and while some places seem to make exceptions for a single long-ago drug charge, anything violent seems to be a no go. Not that I can really blame them! If I were in their position I'm sure I would do the same thing - why take the chance? It just does make it really hard to get people with these backgrounds reintegrated into society. He's made a tough road for himself. He's really smart - he loves reading and talking about history and philosophy and probably has the equivalent of a bachelors in those subjects through his own self-taught reading. If you want a three-hour conversation on Hegel vs. Kierkegard or the mystical practices of various native American tribes he's your guy. But he dropped out of high school as soon as he could without our permission, so on paper he's a 32 year old with a GED, checkered work history, no credit, and a violent felony charge. It's so so frustrating when you see what they are capable of and then they do nothing with it. [/QUOTE]
