I don't know what to make of this document and claim, is that a report, an actual conviction? I don't understand it. It definitely sounds horrible in any case.

However, the point of a program of hiring or educating people who are in prison isn't to judge them. They are already in prison. 10years is a long time, so it's likely they did something bad and have been judged for it.

This is to give people who are capable and willing a chance to grow and integrate. From the little knowledge I have about this, it seems like this is very effective.
