probation, again

     We have a probation system that pays people, basically, for being on probation. They may get a weekly check, medical and dental care, their rent and utilities paid, and an allowance for transportation and job related-expenses. This stops when their term of probation has ended. For some, the way to continue to get along is to commit another crime that will probably get them another term of probation as a sentence. Many of these people do find jobs--but the probation office is paying their wages. Some employers are getting free employees--and don't want them anymore when they are not on probation. If they want their jobs back, they have to commit a new crime, and get sentenced to probation again.

Suggestion--look here for the source of a lot of crime

probation

     I ought to ask for help from the "wiki" on this one, but here goes--I have been told that many major employers like to hire people who are on probation, because their wages are paid by the bureau of probation, and cost the employer nothing. I have been told that some employers don't like to keep people on after their probation has been served, because the bureau of probation will no longer pay their salaries.  You do the math--yes, I have also been told that getting back on probation is one way to get one's job back.

Suggestion--"A speedy and a public trial" ought to mean just that.
