Thrift store gives female ex-prisoners a second chance

Students at Monmouth University are learning about entrepreneurism
and how to give back to their community. Last night, they opened a
thrift boutique in Neptune City that will benefit women who are leaving
prison and want a second chance at life. (Video by Joe Perone)

This is very biased considering no thrift store, or any store for that matter would hire a male ex-prisoner....

[armadilloracer]

You do the crime you do the time...even after you get out.

a degree in what ?

I had a niece that was shot and killed at her job in a robbery. There was all kinds of groups providing support for the scumbag who killed her. But not one single group for the family of my niece. Go figure.

I have a special "gate" program for felons. I think it works well. Pretty much, it's just a hallway that leads from the exit gate all the way around to the entrance gate again.......

Once a criminal, always a criminal.

what good are they if they are ugly?

hire the hot ones, leave the ugly ones in prison where they belong

[riserobot]

unfortunately there is a lot of truth to that. a friend of mine did time for his junk issues. nobody will hire him, and he has a degree.
