Interview with Mark, "A Convicted Felon"

This is not a boring interview. Mark shared with me how difficult it is to get a job when you are labelled a "felon" for the rest of your life. He also talks about how he became addicted to heroin and the side effects of it. Mark had religion in his life. He went to Cathechism and was brought up Catholic. He was a straight A student. He wasn't abused as a child, however, his father got divorced when he was very small and remarried. Mark states he became rebellious towards his stepmother only because she wasn't his real mother. In this interview Mark is very tired and is not using drugs. He didn't get to sleep until 4:30 a.m. because he was helping his brother-in-law work on his car. Stay tuned for Part II and if you have any questions for Mark, leave a comment so I can ask him during the next interview! Thanks everyone!

I have arrested alot of heroin addicts. My personal belief is he is still using. I really hope i am not right. I wish him the best. I also think felony drug charges should be removed after 3 years of being clean. Work with your state reps to make a change.

@tristatenews It did seem like he was on something here. He had just arrived and it was morning. I had coffee and he was drinking that. Maybe, he had a hangover. My ex fiance actually stole his girlfriend away from him and he ended up cheating on me for 3 yrs with her. I think he probably did start using again after this happened. I heard he took it very hard because he really loved this girl. I only saw Mark this time and one other time. I heard he's in jail again. People have choices.

when I was in the postion of hiring folks I have given cons second chances and every time it became a fiasco and never would again nor suggest it

he really knows how to play the victim here it seems in my opinion

@silentfades You're exactly right and from what I heard he didn't change and is in jail again. He's a con artist. Someone recently left a comment about their prior history and they seem very serious. So, I think it depends on the individual, but I agree you can find many con artists who say they have changed but they haven't. I didn't want Mark even knowing where I lived because he has a history of stealing. My ex fiance ended up marrying Mark's ex girlfriend.

@mia0899cs I sincerely am glad you lived to tell this story

people get killed for being kind :(

@silentfades Thanks! Well, when my ex fiance ended up with Mark's girlfriend, my ex fiance said that Mark left a text message saying that he would shoot me and his reason was to take away something from my ex. Well, he knows I have a rotti and this was 3 yrs ago now. However, this is why I didn't trust him to know where I lived. He's in jail so that's a good place for him. He didn't change and I don't think he ever will.

@lucidexistance1 That's wonderful news! People often change when they get older and more mature. I think some of the most intelligent people I have ever met had been charged at one time with something. The only criminals I see that should have a record forever are child molesters and I'm not talking about about a girl who is 15 and her boyfriend was 18. Good luck to you! You will succeed in life!

@mia0899cs Shortly after seeing this I did some research and found that I can get mine expunged. I qualify! Just is gonna cost a lot of money. It's renewed my hope though, I was looking to go back into college, but haven't since meeting so many people who went to college because they had a felony and graduated with a degree and couldn't find any work in their field. It's rough times and it's easier and easier to get thrown in jail. I've stayed out of it for years now. Which is why I qualify too.

@lucidexistance1 Sorry to hear that!
