One of the hardest things for a felon to do is break the everyday prison cycle - waking up in the morning, eating, completeing yard work, and sleeping. Convicts find it hard to get a job after prison because they have a criminal record. It makes it almost nearly impossible to find a job with a criminal record. Offenders also miss out on their children’s birthdays and their childhood as well, so they do not get a chance to see them when they grow up.
After ex-cons are released, they are not allowed to vote in certain states. Particular felons cannot vote because of circumstances and confusion. Convicted felons have shown that they cannot be trusted with some rights.
Former felon, Dominik, got released from jail in 2015. Dominik was arrested for dealing drugs and drug abuse. Felons can also go to rehabilitation after they are released to help them.
There is a program that can help with discipline called PEP. In PEP, you cannot become a slacker. If you are successful in PEP, you will be successful in the real world.
