Fair Slate is a Non Profit Organization. Our organization was created due to a void in fairness when it comes to people who were convicted of a felony and fulfilled their debt to society. Currently people with Felony criminal records, regardless of how far back in time they occurred are seen as outcast or not seen at all.
Fair Slate does not believe that our society is being fair about this since in many cases people have committed felony offenses and just so happen to have good lawyers to get them off. That being said, we have decided to try and do something about it.
First some facts:
- There are approximately 20 million people in the US with Felony criminal records.
- There are approximately 1 million new Felons created every year
- Some studies have shown that if an ex-felon is going to go back to crime it is usually within 3 years of release.
- Many employers do not know that there are several levels of felony classes A-I.
- Many employers are fearful of hiring felons because they don%u2019t understand and don%u2019t try to.
- Ex-Offenders come in all job skills, shapes, sizes in colors. Any job that can be done there is someone with that skill who has a felony criminal record.
- When a person is constantly denied privileges such as a job or a place to live they will eventually find a way to get by and that way may affect you or a loved one.
Fair Slate believes everyone has value so our organization seeks out those ex-offenders with marketable skills and works with specific employers to get them jobs. If that option does not exist then we ask employers to help with training in return for free labor and if that option does not exist then we put high caliber ex-offenders together to create their own businesses under the guidance of the Fair Slate Organization, then when they have proven that they can maintain the business it is completely turned over to them. We have enterprises that are operated, managed and run by ex-offenders. We also get employers to train in the latest technology.
Fair Slate also understands that if it can gather up those ex-offenders who can now vote that there is power in numbers and we would have significant voting power to get some of the laws changed.
What we need is the following information:
Name
Age
Sex (M/F)
Year of your Felony
Is your debt completely paid? (finished probation, finished parole)
State of your Felony
Class of Felony (A-I)
Currently Employed (Y/N)
