I'm not sure what type program to go for as far as being hired in a good paying job. I was a S.T.N.A. and in the state of Ohio it is against the law to work with people over 62 years old. My sentence is 3 years of probation. The felony is forgery

This web site gives you a questionaire and suggests careers based on your interests, knowledge, skills, and abilities.  It's free.\n\nI suggest you find out what occupations it suggests that you also like, then check with any state regulatory agencies to see if you might be restricted.\n\nGood luck to you!

It depends on what the felony was.  If it was a violent crime (murder, rape, assault), it may be difficult finding a job regardless.  If it was drug-related or a negligence crime (i.e., involuntary manslaughter), it shouldn't be as difficult\n\nGood luck to you.

I'm certain it's the same as California's - 3 felony convictions and you get the mandatory life sentence(usually 20 years) you're considered a "career criminal" with little chance for rehabilitation. - Try Cal. State Law - and see if there's mention of Ariz.

You should certainly check that out; I understand that many ex-convicts have obtained law degrees and made careers in the legal field, as lawyers, private investigators, parole officers, sometimes even as cops.  Restrictions vary by state.  Your felony conviction will remain on your record (as you know) but it is not necessarily an impediment.  Good luck.

I actually have been convicted of a felony over 10 years ago..I stole money from my mom's credit card in the sum of 17,500..I just got probabtion...I have been employed with my company for along time and work in payroll and accounting. Sometimes we make mistakes and it doesnt reflect the the person we actually are.

It depends on what their sentence is.  That is up to the courts.  \nFor instance... i was put on probation for felony prescription fraud for 3 years with deferred adjudicaton.  However, after doing 1.5 years i petitioned the courts to grant early release based on my performance.  I was really serious (and still am) about leading the clean life and steering clear of trouble now, and my comm officer knew that.  \n\nUnfortunately, regardless of whether my sentence was deferred i still have to check "yes" in that little box that asks "have you ever been arrested?" on an employment form.  \n\nIt's a hard lesson learned that will follow me for the rest of my life.\n\nThe way i understand it is, i will have to wait another 5 years to have the "arrest" not show up anymore... if i am lucky... and that is a big if.\n\nMoral of the story... stay away from drugs.

Most pizza places are like this and you might get fired if your not careful. I have seen people get fired for not doing drugs. You should however ask for a raise and figuer out how to look better than everyone else. A new job is also my recomendation. The only way i can think of to get one of them in trouble with out being caught is by telling there probation officer.

On applications I've seen, it usually asks about the previous 5, 7, or maybe 10 years.  If it asks if you have "ever" been convicted of a crime then you should answer honestly--or maybe just consider applying only at jobs that don't look back that far.\n\nAt the bottom of the application near the signature portion, it usually mentions that lying is perjury...another felony.\n\nIf the issue does come up at an interview, then be frank, be remorseful (hopefully that's authentic), and try to move past the question quickly.  The longer you dwell on the answer to try to soften it up, the more opportunity there is to slip up and give a worse impression about it.

I worked with an officer who is now in prison for robbing banks.  He did it in his own district, with his own gun AND in uniform.  We'd show up on the scene and he'd be running around the bank saying, "You go this way and I'll go this way."  \n\nImagine that.  And he would have shot us all down like dogs.  They arrested him coming into to work.  He said, "It's about time."\n\nHe got 25 years and in this state--you have to do at least 85% of your entire time.  There is no parole.

Most states have a juvenile justice program, and more than likely it is always in need of help.  Prisons and jails are typically understaffed as well as Probation and Parole offices.  You could apply at the federal level for the FBI, DEA, CIA, or ATF.  With the right classes, you could become an evidence technician and process crime scenes.

i imagine you would have to know a lot about handi work, such as painting and decorating, fixing broken things such as tables, chairs (woodwork)  if there is a short/weekly course at your local community/college centre on multi skilled trades, id take it to get the know how.  They will also do a criminal record bureau check with you, after all you are working with vunerable people/kids.  They will mention at the interview whether the costs are covered for this, its used to be 30 pound..in 1999. but it may of gone up.

well 6 years is alot of time invested and also a child involved in the mix. I feel the real question here is he a good partner and a good father? I have a close friend that was the major bread winner in the family until one day the shop he was employed for decided to pack up and move to Mexico. At the same time his wife's career began to take off. Today she is the major bread winner and he plays Mr. mom to their daughter. A felony on the record does make it a little more difficult to find a good job but not impossible. We all make mistakes in life. I guess my answer to you question would be Love because money will always come and go. Even though you will graduate with a degree soon there is no guarantee that you will land a good paying job. I know people right now with Bachelor degrees looking for work. Good luck to you

Try contacting you local Probation Office, they should be able to help. Its now called The National Offender Management Service  (NOMS) and incorporates the prison service,

while i do not know the pa program i can tell you that in general these programs are a good thing for first time offenders. as a rule they require some combination of public service, consuling, and/or school. complete it and keep your nose clean for a period of time [6 mo to a year generally] and your record is either cleaned or sealed. my advice is to take it and learn from your mistakes.

Local parks, and such are great places to do some community service, just contact the person you need to do them for and ask them what options are available. i was on 20 hours mandatory community service for a probation violation and i worked at the salvation army though, most of the people working there also were doing it because of that.

yes, talk to a recruiter and pick a job feild because local officers may have the atthority to temp. waive said violations, but it depends on the case,then keep your nose clean becase your past stays in your jacket,
