Yellow Ribbon Project - Unlock the Second Prison
-
The Yellow Ribbon Project seeks to help ex-offenders who take responsibility for their own actions and are trying their best to persevere and earn back the trust from their family, friends, colleagues and the community. The Yellow Ribbon Project engages the community to offer second chances to ex-offenders who sincerely want to change.
Show your support and acceptance to these ex-offenders by posting the above yellow ribbon. -
If everyone posts the same ribbon, you will cause the originating website to exceed its bandwidth.

The project will never work, look at the recent IMF. Reformed ex-cons are deemed as a security danger.

Nope. I think its just a scam to get my money.
Fact is that non-convicts are having a hard time getting a decent paying job and putting 3 meals on the table for their families.
So what do the convicts expect, why do employers need to favour convincts over a job opening over a non convinct just because of some media hu-ha?
Do convict actually believe that they can walk into any employer and expect to be hired for the position of a manager with all the tattoos to serve customers?
I think these yellow ribbon people need a reality check. The last time I know, most govt service don't employ ex-cons because they are considered a security threat, they are now allowed into any govt facility. In fact, even furniture they make are rejected (I had to call for a tender in the past to buy furniture and one of the companies employ ex-con) - I wanted to help them but my manager told me to drop them cause the ex-con furniture will bring us trouble and we will get questioned. Even furniture they make are considered a threat. So for all that media crap, its just another way for people to donate to that abyss and never know if the money goes to helping these people of just paying for the adverts and the officials who thought up this yellow ribbon idea. Stop getting conned by all the stupid ribbon projects out there.
Our govt said there is no free lunch. So it seems to only apply to the working slaves. -

This yellow ribbon project is just an act to show that we want a society that is more willing to give ex-convicts a new chance. But then if you take a look at the government sector, you will know they are just talking only.

companies may place them on probation to monitor their performance first.
