Unless you are assigned to a work detail which requires your services. Road crews, farm laborers, mechanics get up and out fairly early.

Recidivism is a huge problem. Oftentimes inmates violate their parole because they are unable to stay removed from the environment that got them into trouble. If you go back to the old neighborhood and hang out with the "homies" it increases your chances for failure greatly.

Your life experience perfectly illuminates the stigma attached to a criminal past. As a society we have to be willing to see the potential in a human being despite their past. If you stay clean and sober employers should be willing to extend a hand. There has to be a commitment from both sides.

I wish you well and hope you can successfully move on with your life.

I understand that position. Targeting Trump would probably be counterproductive to securing the moderate voters that may be on the fence.
