This is true - most "Ban the Box" laws provide that you cannot ask about criminal history on the initial application (or at the first interview). They do not prohibit background checks, nor do they say that employers may not ask about criminal history at any point. The idea is that the "first impression" should be about what is directly related to the job, and if they look interested then they can then check into the other details.
Also, most BtB laws exempt certain positions and/or employers (like schools and those working around children) from the restriction.
It's happening all across the country. And then there's the fact that the debt to society had already been paid.[/quote]
Paid their debt to society? How about paying back for all the free room and board, MEDICAL CARE, clothing, transportation, recreational activities in the yard while they were incarcerated?

Yeah good point . We should charge criminals for their incarceration costs .
It would be another reason for people not to commit crime .
“Yo homie I ain’t going to jail I can’t afford dat bill “
Easy way around this - just front end the website of the company with a box - you have to click the box saying you are not a convicted felon to access the website at all. Application, along with all other online resources is inside...thus protected from criminals. Anyone that checks the box is denied access - TOS says if you lie, you agree to pay the company $1000.
Now you don't have criminals filling out applications OR visiting your website. Win-win.

How could that access restriction be enforced? After all, think about those websites that to enter you have to "certify" that you are at least a certain age - how is that enforceable?
Is it bad that the government is restricting access to government-imposed facts?
