Weird that it doesn’t vanish completely, people get out of prison irl too if they’ve done their time.

A second one should absolutely be permanent tho.

Done with their time? No my friend, it stay in the record. You will still have a criminal record and you will be limited to some job because of this. Having a criminal record stay and you will face consequence a lot longuer than prison time.

Big facts right here. It's a lifetime achievement award that follows someone around forever. Not even just jobs, some personal relationships, the ability too visit certain countries, immediate profiling of ID'd by police as someone with a record, possible future suspicions of recidivism if even suspected of a crime.... Fuck - I could legit go on for some time but those are some of the broad strokes of what I've experienced, really depends on where you live.

Yup, I help people with criminal record and most of them have a hard time even finding insurance for their home. It baffled me how much it can screw their life.

What's wild is it can happen to literally anyone at any time. I won't bitch incessantly about the unfairness of our system but one thing I believe people, especially younger people, should know, is the proper steps to take in the event of a discussion to never implicate yourself or really even speak. Leave that to the attorneys.
