Krannich Many ex-offenders have difficulty finding stable jobs that lead to promising futures.

Most lack information about opportunities appropriate for their red flag backgrounds.

Once released, they often stumble from one low-paying and insecure hard labor job to another.

Many have difficulty finding satisfying work and keeping a job for long.

Unable to adequately support themselves as well as fulfill court-ordered financial obligations, many soon get into trouble that leads them back into prisons and jails.

Not surprisingly, much of today's high recidivism rate (60-70%) directly relates to the issue of ex-offender employability and the ease of violating terms of release (fail to meet parole officer and/or pay child support).
