RE:; The formerly incarcerated should not have their rights taken away.
Such as G.Gordon Liddy (RIP) and the many Jan.6 defendants? And people who were associates of President Trump and are now used as Banana Republic whipping boys by the corrupt Dept. of Justice?
The self-help author and billionaire insurance mogul W. Clement Stone (almost always seated in the front row of the GOP conventions including for Ronald Reagan) went to a lot of expense and trouble reducing recidivism of people in prison by aiding them with housing, income and training plus
jobs to give them a chance. Mostly in Chicago. He said making them permanent outsiders and lost souls did no good to society or them.
Of course the Jan. 6 prisoners are included in that statement.
That was not a left-wing (or right-wing) statement. It was just plain ordinary layman’s logic: There’s no point in punishing wrongdoers with incarceration if they are not free afterwards. Otherwise the word “incarceration” has no meaning. It is not a synonym for “eternal punishment.”
