In our current prison system, people go in broken and come out worse. As a practical consideration, and taken in the short view, discrimination against felons makes sense.

If we had a legal system that resulted in prisoners improving themselves during incarceration, it'd be much harder to justify that. But if a business has a choice between two candidate employees, one who's been in prison for a couple of years, and another who hasn't, then (all else being equal), which candidate do you think they're more likely to hire?

Taken another way, how would you improve prison to make prison time seem like less of a risk factor, or even as a positive thing?
