PROFESSIONAL LICENCES LAW WILL HELP EX-FELONS FIND WORK, STAY OUT OF PRISON
It's an obvious point, but ex-felons need jobs when they get out of
prison. To find jobs, some former prisoners will need to acquire
professional licenses.
If ex-felons don't find jobs, they are more likely to become repeat
offenders, returning to Florida's prisons and costing the taxpayers
more money.
A number of Florida jobs -- even barbering -- require state licenses. But until recently, felons couldn't get those licenses. They carried a
figurative ball and chain as they faced the challenge of re-entering
society.
