Transformations Car Wash Cleans Cars and Puts Ex-Cons to Work
With every soapy wipe of the rag, sweep of the vacuum, and spray from the hose, 27-year-old Dakarai Wilcox appreciates his new job.
He hasn't had one for the last seven years.
Saturday, while working at Transformations Car Wash, Wilcox said, "It means a lot. Next to my foundation with Christ, this job is my everything right now."
Wilcox spent six and a half of the last seven years in prison for burglary. Inside prison, he chose to change his ways.
However, when Wilcox got out, he could not find a job. He said he kept hearing things from employers like, "You've got the qualifications, but I don't want to take a chance with your background."
Wilcox said, "Honestly, I can respect that because of being a liability to somebody. You don't know what they encountered before you. I hold no grudges."
But former certified public accountant and now-pastor Mark Griffin has just given Wilcox and nine other felons jobs at a brand new car wash.
Transformations Car Wash held its grand opening Saturday on the corner of Cassat Avenue and Plymouth Street.
