A Ribbon for my thoughts

I was watching this locally made movie about ex-convicts .Character played by a local actor,one scene really strucked me where he was interviewed by the potential employer "are you an ex convict?".

There are projects in our society helping ex-convicts to get back into society.But the reality is some screening applications by employers wether by hardcopy or online internet surely theres is a question "Have you ever been convicted before by law?"

But maybe some employers are lenient to not look at the past but at the future of what an ex-offender can do.

Just a penny for my thoughts.
