The Felon’s Guide is a collection of resources for helping people with criminal records find stability. Our mission is to curate a list of essential resources, publish original content, and inspire felons and ex-offenders to keep moving forward.
Everyone wants to live an everyday life pursuing their dreams. If we pay the price for our mistakes, we should continue pursuing those dreams without having to burst through barrier after barrier to get ahead.
Nearly one-third of the adult working-age population has a criminal conviction. If all arrested Americans were a country, they would be the 18th largest; that’s more than Germany’s total population.
Felons, and people with criminal convictions, face severe adversity to finding jobs, securing housing, receiving appropriate healthcare, pursuing further education, and reuniting with friends and family. People are too quick to judge anyone with a criminal past as unworthy of help.
The Felon’s Guide is here to help because we know what it means to wear a convicted felon’s brand. We know what it means to grind out a hard day’s work over and over until we find something better. We know what it means to be told no by apartment managers, so we have to couch surf. We know, and we want to help.
