An Unfair Justice System

It is hard for an Ex-Convict to find a job, because of their background. I personally know someone who went to jail for possession of a unregistered gun. They did the time they had to do and was released. After being released from jail they searched high and low for a job, and could not find one. This person had not been in trouble with the law since their last encounter. I think jobs should do background checks, but if a person has a criminal background they should look farther into it, rather than denying them of a job. Most people were young making a bad decision Our government talks about equal opportunity and justice for all, but to me that is not fair. I also understand that if you make a decision there are consequences that follow after that decision, but if you went to jail or paid other reprimands there should not be a set back on your future.
