Are felons allowed to move into the state without a firm job prospect? Or is that just while you're on probation?

the problem he has is that he has a non-violent felony on his record for selling pot about 5 or 6 years ago.


He can't get a TWIC card without an expungement. That said I know former felons who work for headhunters that work for plants. They aren't actual plant employees but they work in plants. Contract employees.

I know an inspector who borrowed the neighbor's canoe to go fishing and returned it, yet the owner pressed charges and the canoe cost over $500 so it was a felony. He was 17 at the time. Couldn't get a decent job until his expungement finally went through a few years back.

Sounds like he'd make a great casing hand.

Felonies usually restrict you from entering certain job sites. I've seen people come in and get turned down for a felony and get redirected to another job site.

Yes he could get a pretty good job when the industry picks back up.
