Correctional Industry

We tried this program. After 2 years and a zero win record, we gave it up.
No shows, inability to get along on the lines, drama issues, theft, reincarerations, blah blah blah.
Maybe 20 or so as a trial.
Actually wish it would have worked, but they seemed to prefer being wards of the state, even though it was in prison.

wtf does liberal or conservative have to do with trying to help a fellow person out?

Yup. The liberal gun-control freak will change their tune tout-de-suite after a mugging or home-invasion, and the conservative pro-lifer will scare up an abortionist rapido for their 15 year-old Susie when they find out their prospective "son-in-law" is black and "junior" is on the way . . .

I don't see this as the explanation of what a "conservative" or "liberal" would do in a given situation, but rather a hypocrite who does not obviously believe the moral position they claim to hold to be in fact true.  I think it foolish to think your stance to be true of all people as some actually do act in accordance with what they profess.  Given that, your statement unfortunately likley does prove true in many situations which is what I am guessing you meant.

Hey,
Back again with this thread as promised from time to time. So our newest employee has been with us a few months now and is almost done with the halfway house. Never stepped foot in a print shop before and reclaims awesome and fast, stretches screens, boxes orders, and off loads the auto and catches. Will be starting on one of the manuals in a few weeks. So great news there.
With the State they are all over me now. Feel like I am going to get a medal or something. I have this person calling me and that person and how can we get more people to work for you. Our next hire will probably not be for another three months or so. Hopefully less. Every quarter just gets busier for over the past five years in a row now. But I do have to admit the paper work is not too bad at all, just a lot hoopla in the beginning. And of course I know I am on a lucky streak here. But I am trying to nip that in the bud by setting up a more in depth program with the state on what a production shop is looking for in an employee besides showing up and attitude. The actual science behind what we do. And that is daunting because I learn something just about every day and I feel like I only know 10% of screen printing. If that! Haha.
So in the next couple of months I get to visit some of the State's print departments. Should be interesting. And I also get to visit a high volume milk plant (something like 5 millions gallons a day) and also Rutland very soon! Call me a nerd but I love to see how others produce extreme volume
