jackl: You're assuming the ex-con even gets to the interview stage where his demeanor could "give him away". Not at all. I think it poisons them before they can get anywhere near that stage. Almost like people can see it a block away, or a cloud hanging over them. I've been there. I spent only 4 months in jail once nearly 30 years ago, and for months afterwards felt like there was a big finger or flashing arrow up above me pointing at me when I went job hunting. Awful feeling, and it shows.
