   Yes, given the issues that a low-income person has getting employment   
   after checking "Yes" on the box on a job application that asks if you   
   were ever arrested/incarcerated - let alone apply for a job that   
   requires a background check.   
      
   If there are no hundrances to employment from the first incarceration,   
   maybe the rate of recidivism will go down? It's worth a thought   
   experiment at the very least - except that law enforcement and   
   incarceration are well down the road of becoming for-profit enterprises.
