I agree. I figure once you’re out of prison, you’ve paid your debt to society. You should have all the rights that come with being a free man.
There are many crimes where the term of incarceration is only part of the debt to society. If one commits stock fraud, there is prison time and also a prohibition on ever becoming a stockbroker, or working in the financial sector.
Criminals can always be counted on to vote for less punishment and more gun control.
