You act as if people are simply being locked up due to their race, that is a dangerous lie.
I can agree on one aspect, when a prisoner has paid their debt to society they shouldn’t be stigmatized forever in the hiring process.
Which is where illegal immigration and free trade comes into play. When the hiring pool is deep, companies have no need to hire felons.
Allowing millions of illegals entry, in tandem with shipping millions of jobs offshore creates a wealth of available workers for diminishing job openings. Wages decrease as do opportunities.
Now, look at what’s happened since electing Trump. That’s exactly how you rehabilitate convicts, give them opportunity at something other than crime.
