I also agree. As a society, we've adopted a certain willingness to forgive. If someone has served a sentence and been released on parole or because they have completed their sentence, I have a hard time arguing that they should continue to be stigmatized for life.

Of course, for things like child abuse or rape or whatever... that's a different situation and I think those people need to be supervised more closely to ensure no one else gets harmed... but even there, the idea that no one should hire them because they have a history of criminal behavior isn't sensible. There are certainly ways in which those people can be productive members of society and not put others at risk.
