Are there types of crimes that are automatic disqualifiers? We are all aware of how most convicts feel about pedo's, but will you hire rapists, arsonists, murders - or do you try to limit it to crimes that were non-violent.
With that said - I personally spent 14 years in Law Enforcement (part of it working in a jail). Although I didn't work in a "prison" - I processed hundreds of guys (and gals) just getting out. It became quite clear to me (from my time in jail - then on the streets) that there were just some people that would never adapt to society*** and were better off in jail. How often do you run across these folks and can you spot them right off the bat (I know for me - after a number of years you could almost tell a career criminal just by their mannerisms and they way they talked/looked at you).
Have you had any issues with the EEOC for discrimination? I would also imagine that saying you "only" hire ex-cons would open you up to liability from some of the lawsuit-happy lawyers who might sue you for "discriminating" against non-criminals. Have you had any of these issues - or have you been able to avoid the liberal ambulance chasers (I would imagine it would be a catch-22 for most liberals because on one hand they would accuse you of discrimination - but on the other hand they would be happy you are employing ex-cons... I bet their heads explode thinking about it).
*** edit - after re-reading I know some folks will see this as saying I am just saying "lock them up forever" - I am referring to folks that are life-long criminals - who the second they hit the street are already looking for a scheme/angle. I'm sure Brandon will agree that there are folks that just cannot live in open society - and I am referring to these folks.
