Finding long-term work has been nearly impossible for him. “Most employers today conduct background checks even for entry-level positions.” (Uggen, 143). While it's understandable to want a sense of security and insurance for the well-being of the company, it's a bit extreme that someone who committed a crime ten to fifteen years ago can never get an entry-level job. This realization, along with examining my previous moving experience, brought to light that I had participated by acting on prejudice and stigmatizing someone with criminal behavior.
