From Illegal to Legal: 


Many criminals and ex-cons don't have formal education or training, and often cannot get jobs earning enough to support themselves or their families. In jail, it’s not always possible to get an education or training beyond a G.E.D., which doesn’t prepare them for a well-paying career. Since it is difficult for ex-cons and others who have operated illegally to get jobs, much less well-paying jobs, it is likely they would return to a life of crime to support themselves and their families.
