I am an ex-felon, my age is 53. I was released 5 months ago, and I am having difficulty getting proper housing and a job. I have a family,andmy wife is disabled. I am trying to work hard and make the right choices. The discrimination of poor ex-felons should be taken to the courts. Martha Stewart for one example, she made money while in prison, and I see her on television doing commercials, and making even more money. I'm sure that she hasd no problem in finding a home. It seems that the system is against the poor, and more so the poor ex-felons.
