The good thing about people with a criminal record: you know what they did! You will never know this of the people around you who got away not being caught. Do I know if my neighbour did not rob a bank 10 years ago? No. So working with ex-criminals can be an encounter with honesty.

Uh, you don't know what the ex-con hasn't been caught for either. Maybe they got away with murder 10 years ago, but where only caught for their petty theft 5 years later.

How is that? It seems reasonable to believe, all else being equal, that someone that's been convicted of a crime has committed more crimes than someone that hasn't been convicted.
