While I agree that "do your time/get your Rights back" should be the Order of the Day... You should have to make FULL restitution before you get them back. Complete your sentence. Do your time. Make restitution where possible. EARN your spot back in Society.

For things like rape and murder, there can be no Restitution made that I can envision.

Martha Stuart is a "felon"... Keep that in mind before discounting the idea of restitution/restoration.

Read 3 Felonies a Day.

We currently have so many stupid, some of them blatantly unConstitutional, laws on the books that just going through a normal work day, you are a FELON.

If we don't return to this as a Standard, then we will continue to create an army of Second Class Citizens with little to no incentive to be law abiding.

That hasn't worked well for us so far...

Do your time. Pay your penance. Go forth and sin no more...

Reynolds has made the issue a priority, previously discussing her own struggle with alcoholism and drunken driving arrests before she sought treatment and got sober more than 20 years ago.

I am fine with this so long as ALL DEBT, Prison sentence, restitution, reimbursement, is paid in full.

Some folks really do reform. Many embrace Christianity and will not vote Democrat.
