Very true Bear. My grandpa was the assistant warden of the monroe penitentiary and was the in charge of the honor farm. These are the good ones of the bunch and he said that the majority of them at any given time were on thier 2nd or 3rd trip.sv_libertarian wrote:If a person has done the time, they have been punished. They should no longer have a legal status that makes it hard for them to get a job, get housing, vote, protect themselves or otherwise partcipate in the community. Probably one reason why felons keep reoffending, they are locked out of most of society. I say restore their rights upon release.
I would disagree. A felony isn't some little error in judgment. It is a major NO NO and it has extra punishment attached to it. It's like in the Military, when they give you extra duty for doing something wrong, it is just an error. But when they restrict you to quarters along with the extra duty you know you've been a very bad boy because with the extra duty you have no extra time in your day but to sleep anyway.
Besides that, most felony's continue to re-offend.
