How does a person fresh out of prison get a decent income?

Or perhaps the obvious answer is not to commit the crime in the first place.

Why?

What?

No. Why?

Crime doesn't pay...

Says who?????????? I'll stop right there. This should be in the bat cave.

So should you.

Fair warning.

Seriously, in this day and age it must be very difficult for a person who has been in prison to come out and get a decent job. Even a half decent job. How the fuck do they do it, when references are required and the right experience is required and there are plenty of applicants who haven't just got out of prison.

How?

No wonder it's a bloody vicious cycle of crime.

If you got a good job at an investment bank you can commit all sorts of crimes without going to prison in the first place.

Lehman Brothers and all those other big banks gaming the system for example.

Whadya reckon?

I thought this would be about the Khmerican deportees. How do they find jobs here? What do they do?

I imagine it is easier in Cambodia where a person with enough confidence can reinvent themselves and get work without needing to provide verifiable references, etc.

I'd be more worried about the victims of those criminals. The crime perpetrated against them might have ruined their lives, too, financially or otherwise. In that spirit, personally I wouldn't lock up people who commit victimless crimes.

asking the question I have asked in no way means I (and those who respond) am not 'worried' about the victims of criminals. Kind of goes without saying. My empathy threshold is lower than yours and happens to include criminals, of which there are all manner under that label.

Also, my question was giving consideration to the bigger picture... of a perpetual cycle of crime.

Okay. You've posted this thread in "Not Cambodia", and "Not Cambodia" is quite a diverse place. That makes it kind of difficult to make a comment that has any substance. Many civilized countries do have programs for locked up criminals to further their education while behind bars and for assisting them to reenter the labor force once released. In some places those programs are more successful than in others, so here's an idea, copy what works elsewhere! NOT locking up first-time offenders for minor crimes also looks like a winner, they can do community work instead. Or, if they have a job, let them pay a fine and keep their job.

yeah right, it's society's fault not the criminal's

tougher law enforcement would be a good start

Also, the 'victims' should shoulder some of the responsibility too.
