You can actually go to the court house and pay a certain amount, depending on the offense and time since it occurred, and have it expunged from your record. I am not sure if it work in every case, but that is what we used to tell people to do when i used to look over resumes at a place that I used to work when we would do the background checks.

They can get some jobs. Just not the best jobs.

Play you pay, people need to learn that

Unfortunately, it is generally not possible to have a felony conviction expunged. Legislatures have greatly expanded the conduct that has been described as felonious, and many people have straightened up and do not deserve the lifetime disability. Being "tough on crime" is always politically popular, and concern for those branded as criminal seldom is, until it really hits home. With the exception of drug possession crimes after proving to a judge that you have been through a meaningful rehabilitation, you don't get rid of a felony under Kentucky law unless you happen to be well-connected enough to get a gubernatorial pardon(with only enough exceptions to prove the rule).

once a year they have a job fair for felons only. ask probation they can tell you when. it started last year.

They can get a job just like everyone else put in an application. The are not going to get a CEO job or nothing fancy but any manual labor or restrant job would be an option.

[lady]

sorry- typo's They and resterant

[Tell me]

well that is good and fine but tell me lady just where would those jobs you are referring to at. not around here sorry

[Green Thumb]

The type of felony has a lot to do with what type of job that youre looking for. Be honest and explain on your application or interview and maybe the interviewer may determine that your particular conviction will not affect your job performance.

[lady]

Yes, jobs are scarse right now, but the job shop is always an option. Anything should be better than prison.
