CRIMINAL
RECORDS - It is tragic that
over 4 million American citizens have a legal
record that continues to disable them in
society long after they have served their sentences and paid the
penalties.
Both civil and criminal
records often become a life sentence disabling many
Americans from enjoying life's freedom to pursue their goals
and ambitions. Criminal records resulting from a marijuana arrest,
a one-time illegal act of a felony, crime or misdemeanors are a
difficult disability to overcome without the expungement of these
records.
CIVIL RECORDS - Millions
more have a similar disability because of records
that have wrongful, inaccurate or incomplete civil and administrative
records that are kept by state and federal government departments
and agencies including all branches of the military.
These disabling records and their resulting
sentence can prevent them from the right to vote, to hold elected
office, obtaining veterans and other government benefits, denies them many
other civil rights that the rest of the population enjoy and ends the
dream of ever succeeding in life. But considered by many the most
important handicap and disability of them all is the ability and the right
to secure a job. When it comes to criminal records this is especially true
for people convicted of lesser crimes and former youthful
offenders. These offenders with records most often are found in and come
from the minority and poor communities. At times, these individuals had no
or limited legal representation resulting in a conviction that a well paid
attorney could easily and simply have had dismissed prior to any trial.
You see it every day rich people getting away with murder.
In
a recent interview political activist Angela Davis talked about the
economics of the "Prison Industrial Complex." She pointed out that 1/3 of
African-American males of voting age in Florida were unable to vote
because of their history of interface with the prison- industrial-complex.
Once a person is "criminalized" the ability to sell their labor is
minimized to a point often far below minimum wage even when work is
offered when there is knowledge of the applicant’s criminal record. This
is outrageous in a civilized society. No individuals or groups should
be victims of the systematized criminalization of our youth.
It must stop, be prevented and reversed whenever possible.
This loss of the ability to secure a job is considered by the majority
of persons the most the important of them all. This is especially true for
former youthful offenders that now have a criminal record, especially in
minority and disadvantaged communities. At times, these youthful offenders
had no or limited legal representation resulting in a conviction that a
well paid attorney could easily and simply have had dismissed prior to any
trial through pre-trail intervention or disposed of for lack of
substantial evidence. In one study (Appendix-Table 1), it was determined
that less than 50 per cent of all non-motor vehicle criminal offenses
resulted in dismissal or not guilty when defendants were represented or
argued innocence at trial.
For many, their felony records were the result of
drug related activity, a single-one time theft, youth gang related activity,
burglary, or other felonious act that may even resulted in probation
or dismissal or non conviction. At times even the totally innocent are
convicted. All this activity results in a record. Yes, records
even exist for dismissals. For others that were sentenced, served their
time and also compensated their victims for their loss discover that
the sentence goes on as long as their felony record exists.
