   Critter, aren't you still aware of the fact that COck-suckers DO   
   CONCUR with your opinion and FULLY CONFORM to your position about   
   total absence of the concept of "rehabilitation" in imprisonment   
   of the individuals?  They said it so many times an therefore   
   there is no need to raising this subject over and again...   
   Otherwise it's an obvious exercise of futility, as well as waste   
   of your precious time and irreversible destruction of neurocells.   
      
   At this point COck-suckers are in the stage of denial, which is   
   quite natural process before admitting their incessant habit and   
   addiction to the practice of sadism toward defenseless hostages   
   of the incarceration industry. . To them a concept of "crime and   
   punishment" is a reasonable and logical phenomenon.  They tend to   
     ignore the fact that victims of the incarceration industry are   
   also humans who entitled to the same rights as they are and   
   should not be denied their lives, dignity and ability to enjoy   
   company of their loved ones, their friends, relatives and people   
   they look after, of vice versa.   
      
   You insist on implying, Critter, that no one is interested in   
   hiring you, or anyone with a criminal record. This is simply not   
   true... Because There are great multitude of places, people and   
   businesses which do not give a shit whether you had a criminal   
   record, or have any other sort of interest in your private and   
   individual history.   
      
   The only problem which may arise when you're being hired by those   
     people is that you may feel that remuneration they offer for   
   your toiling is not fair, or not high enough to satisfy your demands.   
   It's like being "employed" in the capacity of slave, or other   
   type of "inferior person". Just the way your labor being unfairly   
   exploited in prison.   
      
   Those places are also being called "tailor shops", "construction   
   sites", etc, where "labor is cheap". In folks language you may   
   often hear them being called "sweatshops".   
      
   Crissy says that sweatshops are illegal. But so is incarceration   
   industry.  Nevertheless, those institutions are far from intended   
   to be shut down by the government that is being lobbied by owners   
   and beneficiaries of those enterprises.   
      
   As soon as prisons will be eliminated and people's labor won't be   
   readily available for exploitation without a fair remuneration,   
   there will be more people interested in taking those "second   
   rate" jobs. Because they won't be a second rate anymore....   
      
   And maybe then, who knows, you'll be able to obtain your so long   
   desired vacated employment?  But by then it may not be as highly   
   "prestigious" among other jobs as it is now....
