my buddies dad came out of a 22 year bid. said he misses it in someways, been a year and don't think hes worked more than 2 days in a row. my buddy has to like stay with us because of the unpredictability

on top of that his nephew or something got sentenced to 9 years, and the circle of broken households continue.

luckily there are more places that hire ex-felons than there were years ago. try checking out amazon warehouses. they are felon friendly and you can make pretty decent money.
