Hats off to Mr. Andrews for addressing a great need! Too many felons who have done their time and wish to return to society, get a job and settle down, run into the attitude "I'm not so hot, but I'm a lot better than you are!' My suburban home is known as "Felony Farms" because I welcome felons to visit and encourage them to turn their often considerable legitimate talents into jobs. For a time we even had a hilarious rock band called "Four Felons and Miss Demeanor." It was an enjoyable way to work off frustrations and feel worthwhile, with hope for better times and acceptance. Everyone was polite. Nobody stole the silverware. On the contrary, visitors helped with the yardwork and voluntarily did various chores, especially when I was temporarily handicapped. Should crime be punished? Yes! But when time has been served and rehabilitation is underway, welcome felons back into society, instead of driving them back into despair and crime because employment is hopeless. Write your State and Federal Congressmen to remedy this situation instead of lavishing our tax money on the real criminals running big business.
