Hello Dan, although I would not normally respond to a “blanket statement” post such as this I believe it is important to address as it is a very common position that so many people hold. I am a whole-hearted believer in “personal accountability” & it sounds like you are too. That being said, posts like this to me are totally indicative of the sociopolitical reform we need to make our judicial system truly “rehabilitative” as it’s ideological principles espouse it to be! I agree with you in many ways that if you do the crime then you must also do the time. However, after that it seems illogical and completely unethical to sentence every single felon to a life long “vocational death” if you will. This is the opposite of rehabilitation.

Get lost people makemis.

Though I do agree, there are some people that make mistakes that are inexcusable. I do believe everyone deserves a second chance, especially if they were wrongly accused.
