Here's Hope

In February 2009 "Christopher" was released from prison after spending 5 yrs, 7 months incarcerated for attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon. A pest control company was willing to hire him if he could get bonded. He received a $5,000 bond through ESC under the Federal Bonding Program. I spoke with the regional field manager for the pest control company and he told me that "Christopher" has been a wonderful employee. He is one of his best salesmen. He couldn't be more pleased with how things turned out. I especially like "Christopher's" story because he served a fairly long sentence for a violent crime, yet he was able to secure employment less than a month after his release and he is making around $15.00 per hour.
