In today's society, many face dismissal when potential employers, colleges/universities, or credit companies view a criminal record, whether they view it online or through law enforcement agencies. Making a single mistake or having just one arrest on record can severely impact a person's potential. Their career and their future is compromised if they are in between jobs, applying for school, or even hoping to get a promotion. All of these things greatly impact the lives of those who are dealing with their criminal records, forcing them to endure a lifestyle they may not have to.
