I want to know if there are any grants for convicted felons ?

This is motivated and I'm referring to Slow and Easy: Sometimes people just get caught up. How can you say "why in the world would the the government give a convicted felon a grant?" That's where all the real crooks are anyway; look at what"s going on with people that have worked all their lives and only to find out that you may not be eligible to recieve retirement pension. Must people that are convicted felons probably got the s*** beat out of them for a confession; but you know why this world will never change??? The big man is constantly stepping on the little man!!!!!!

I did not mean to offend anyone with my question. I just on that day thinking Wow,
here are veterans returning from a war they did not want{ Iraq} and are having trouble getting the help they need from the goverment and a felon wants a grant? That was just a statement made in the wrong context I did not mean to offend anyone. everyone makes mistakes and a lot of times all they need is a helping hand.

I am astounded by the negativity, that ex cons receive. Most are sent to classes that cost hundreds of dollars a month and are required to hold a job and pay there bills. These folks are also fighting to survive in every day life. There kids, wifes, husbands,etc. go with out and if it were not for health and welfare most of these folks would be reincarcerated, due to the fact of trying to survive. If there were more posativaty for these folks then the crime would go down. Just remember, POSSATIVE AFFERMATIONS ARE THE STEPPING STONES TO SUCCESS, OR KEEP TEASING THE DOG AND IT WILL BITE. Give them a chance you might just have the greatest friend you will ever know

Because as long as there are people who want to change and find out the resources available then we ex felons wont be out trying to make money by damaging others lives to get by. One of the problems is that people who are released from prison have alot of good ideas for busines but no way to start them. Alot of us are as intelligent as anyone else or in some cases more so.Would you rather us selling gooods next to you or selling drugs in your neighborhood.

actually, getting a grant from the government is as easy as cutting a slice of pie; getting a job after wasting X amount of time going to school on that grant money is where the problem steps in.

the whloe reason the government does this is because of s like u. employers dont usually give felons a chance so the government gives it to us in hopes that we can become productive. if a ur pet bit someone wouldnt u train it or "rehabilitate"to not do it again? why can felons have that change to? everyone s up at some point, some just worse than others. it doesnt mean that they are a bad person, people get driven to do crimes (most times) after that we dont catch job breaks so sometimes we are forced to commit crimes not by choice but by neccesity. the will to survive. its people like slowandeasy that give us the true "bad reputation". i honestly feel that that is why the world is so ed up. if felons werent pushed aside so quickly and give a chance by fellow man live could be better for all.
