Using "Ex-Cons" as a blanket term is pretty dehumanizing, in my opinion.

People go to jail for different reasons. Would you assume that a person who went to prison for child molestation would have the same antisocial personality traits as someone who was convicted for multiple DUIs?

These are human beings, and they shouldn't be described in the same manner as insects in a David Attenborough documentary.

You shouldn't be going after me for just using a word you don't approve of especially since I am very sympathetic too them. I don't know what the movers did to get into jail but as far as the job prospects it doesn't matter anyway. What I was told is that a lot of companies won't hire you as soon as you have a record, no matter what for, be it child molestation or DUI.

For most companies, it's an automated check and automated rejection. No human ever sees what they did and makes a judgment.

Using 'human beings' as a blanket term is pretty dehumanising, in my opinion.

'ex-con' means nothing more than 'has been convicted [of something]'. There are many different types of insect too you know.
