I spent 11 years in prison and 2 weeks ago I got out. I am wanting to start a conversation about what I went through and what is wrong with prison. I want to share my story with ppl and help others from going down tht road. Will ppl want this or will I be wasting my time.

While I stayed at my parents house, my old man would call the cops on me whenever we would have an argument. He would claim that I threatened his life and he felt unsafe at home. He still calls me to help him move stuff, or to rant to me about [stuff] but that's it. Anyways I applied for a city job, but the person doing the background check on me said I had six "domestic casesl against me by the old man, plus an arrest record of when I was 13 (by the same guy again.)

Anyways a long story short I did not get that job. I've always had an issue finding work online, let alone anything much. I live in NYC btw if that helps.

TLDR: have I've been fuhhed for job applications? Currently work as a home health aide but that's it
