...Some ex-prisoners, too. Nothing like prison tats to mark you as an outcast, with all the social and financial downsides that involves (besides the complete drop to permanently lowest-class unemployable for most, I mean.)
You do not need prison tats for that. A background check will do sufficiently. That said, I m an ex felon, with some tats from before and during my time. I have a fair job at a small local IT company, and am building my own business. However, it has and continues to be a very hard struggle, and I can see why many give up and go sling dope or rob again.
