You're addressing ways in which a convicted felon could 're-enter the body politic' which is something I said we as a 'people' needed to address. However, it's not automatically true that every felon who completes his sentence has demonstrated that he is ready for full responsibility as part of 'the people.' That's why we have a lot of repeat offenders.

So, while we may differ on the details of what requirements should be met, we can agree that there should be a path for someone who has demonstrated enduring repentence to re-enter 'the people.'

True. My question is asking why they're out again, if they are repeat offenders. If the punishment truly fit the crime, then maybe, they wouldn't repeat offend.
