I was wondering if everyone in mountain town had a criminal hx. Certainly, the folks i encountered at the soup kitchen, shelter, library and buses talked about their histories.
I googled the subject and although i found out there is a definite criminal element, i could not gain any real stats.
The other day however i happened upon a program on N.P.R. where it was stated that 1 out of every 5 Americans has a criminal background!
The show stressed that some of it was stuff like being in possession of small amounts of illegal substances.
But they interviewed a woman who at one time had prostituted. She could not gain any jobs that required a background check. I found many years ago, that if one has bad credit or a history of homelessness they (me) ought not even bother applying for jobs that require a background check!
