Dress For Success
If you are a felon in Arizona, I am offering to clothe you for work for FREE. Based in Sedona, Arizona, The Lion Within is a Life Coaching Company that is looking to help felons get back to work. Understanding the challenges that felons face entering the workforce, I would like to help you take the first steps to get your life back. Dressing for success will allow you to look and feel your best. This may increase your chance of finding employment as a felon.
Felons have a particularly hard time finding work as most employment screenings filter these resumes and applications out before taking a further look. Good, hard working, individuals are not given a second chance, further increasing the chances that this individual will become a recidivism statistic and return to a life of crime.
When businesses work together to bring Community-based Restorative Justice, we can promote safer cities and safer communities.
We can also promote change and hope for those who suffer from addiction and mental illness.
Crime is largely understood to be a societal problem that is caused by a breakdown in 1) community and family connections and 2) economic opportunity. When these two factors are combined, a person is significantly more likely to end up in prison or jail.
Those who have suffered a breakdown in family and community connections and those suffering from poverty, need help from businesses and local communities, to restore what has become broken.
What if I told you that by providing a job for a felon, you could make the world a safer place? You could provide a solution to the problem of crime, rather than letting fear drive policy that is only perpetuating the problem. If we continue to shove felons to the outskirts of society, we will only be faced with more and more people without work, desperate to provide for themselves.
Felons represented about 19.8 million people or 8.6% of the US population 2010. Studies are not readily available for what that number is now. Nationwide trends suggest that this number has grown significantly. There are nearly 10,000,000 crimes each year. If even 10% of this number are felonies, then that suggests that the number today is closer to 27 million felons. Almost 10% of our population may be felons.
If we exclude this segment of society from work, we are creating a lot of desperate people.
Inclusion and Forgiveness seem to be the clear answer to what America needs. Let's put the millions of felons back to work in America, and once again we will be the land of the free and the home of the brave.
