Should felons (rapists and murderers) get a second chance at a job?

Let’s say several years ago, maybe 15…he serves time and five years later he can’t find a job because he burglarized someone’s home, kidnapped them, and rape a woman but has been free of crime for the past maybe 8 years. Do they deserve a second chance?

Also, how do people find work with this type of record? Just curious because I had someone for a job and turns out he kidnapped and raped a woman. The thought disgusts me and makes me sick but at the same time I feel like if people aren’t given another chance to try then they’re just going to repeat some crimes. He won’t be eligible for any clients we have.
