The UW System should not be singled out for legislative retribution for hiring felons in compliance with state law.
What we need to avoid is creating unnecessary hardships for people whom our judicial system has decided have paid their debt to society. There are few good jobs for people once they have served their time for the felony crimes that they have committed. Let’s not mistakenly make life harder for those who are trying to build a life after prison ââ?¬â? and make our state’s corrections policy look hypocritical compared to its past.
