Hopefully it works out, and is a success.

It’s better for ex-cons to be employed than to revert back to crime.

Agree to a point.

I support giving some ex-cons a chance. Of course, many of these ex-cons are not able to make good choices, no matter what helps or hurts them.

That said, the probabilities are against the company.

Also, regarding the title of the article...there is no such thing as an "ex-felon". Once a felon, always a felon.

I’m am in agreement with you.

I will pray for their success.

And ex-felon is odd, unless they are getting pardons.

“Of course, many of these ex-cons are not able to make good choices, no matter what helps or hurts them.”

My experience as a landlord to former convicts has been uniformly bad. I have evicted two families with thousands of dollars in loss and damages to my property. A third couple was raided by SWAT, which also damaged my property. I later had to evict them, but they were already gone, leaving $100 worth of EBT bought steaks in the refrigerator with the power off. (They took the three cases of beer, though. You would have thought they could have at least taken the steaks outside and left them there.) My experience is that former convicts make bad decisions and are thoughtless of others, including their kids.
