Not only can't he work any job he wants, he can't work any job who wants him. Many jobs have restrictions on prior convictions. Most of the employment contracts I have signed have "morality clauses". I can be fired not only for committing a crime, but for doing anything the local community (as interpreted by the Board of Directors and CEO) might find "inappropriate" even if it is completely LEGAL.

This is, of course, why I don't (and will never) post my real name or personal info on a porn forum.


Never mind all of that, everybody seems to be twisting around the original question to a very weird extreme.

The original question was would you WANT Michael Vick on your team? Not should an animal torturer be allowed to get a job and second chance after his sentence is over?
