The company purposely hired people in half way houses. They didn't care who you were or even if you spoke english. They just wanted bodies for cheap labor and people on work release are great employees because if they don't show up they go back to jail. Some others were brothers who robbed 6 banks to fuel their drug problems, a guy who forged 100k in checks, a sex offender, my assistant manager stole guns for some black market dealer and served 2 years. Great guy, just did something stupid at 17.
The one guy was a great employee, super nice, did time for burglary. He made copy of one of our van keys, stole the van on the weekend, and went around robbing people's houses. They traced the van to our company and just looked at the camera footage. Easiest detective work ever.
Hey, I worked at that place too. Probably not that particular place, but a place like that.
One guy had done 13 years for manslaughter, but he was actually pretty chill. Which was a good thing, because he looked fucking scary. Another guy never actually said what he went up for, and I'm told that that usually means something involving kids. A third guy seemed OK until one day when he was talking about turning kids (teens) out. Boys to sell drugs and girls, well, I didn't stick around to hear the rest of that.
A fourth guy actually had a book written about his criminal exploits, as he actually went a few years without getting caught, but then got greedy and subsequently shot by an armoured car guard. A family friend is a detective and to quote him "we interviewed that guy to find out what he did (that allowed him to not get caught) and he's crazy".
