ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES, ARBITRARY HIRING STANDARDS, INEFFECTIVE PRISON REHABILITATION, AND POOR ACCESS TO JOBS ARE AMONG THE PROBLEMS PRESENTED, AND REMEDIES FOR DEALING WITH THEM ARE SUGGESTED.
Abstract
BUSINESSES AND CORPORATIONS ARE URGED TO INITIATE AND PARTICIPATE IN EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS FOR EX-OFFENDERS. COOPERATING WITH COMMUNITY AGENCIES INVOLVED IN THE REHABILITATION OF EX-OFFENDERS, DEVELOPING COMPANY PROGRAMS AND BECOMING INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF IN-PRISON PROGRAMS ARE SUGGESTED AVENUES FOR BUSINESS ACTION. EXERTING INFLUENCE TO CHANGE ARBITRARY HIRING PROCEDURES FOR EX-OFFENDERS IS A FURTHER SUGGESTION. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS OR DEPARTMENTS IN A BUSINESS BE DESIGNATED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A FIRM'S PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS.
