    You’re not describing a criminal, that’s an ex-convict

      Tell that to “ex-convicts” who can’t vote.

      Can’t believe you’re being downvoted. “Same as before…execution for significant theft

      Oh but ok, it’s cool, we’ll have voting rights after. No way someone could be reclassified as a capital criminal via the exact mechanism in the OP.

      I mean it’s laudable to not make permanent second class citizens, but it misses the point that you can toss people in a horrendous prison system if your prison system isn’t designed for rehabilitation or treating people with dignity.

        Ok, so i didn’t dot every I & cross every T when i was responding to the guy. The OP was talking about when you exit jail, but while in it, but fair enough regardless.

        What i basically was saying is the current legal system already hands out verdicts, punishments, & whatnot. The person i was responding to likely doesn’t doubt those, so he shouldn’t doubt them just because people’s rights as humans will be respected.
