my thought is, yes while a person may be a hardened criminal and its not always easy for a parole board to tell the difference or anything like that. If we want people to not return to prison in as high a rate, then give them a normal shot at a normal life after prison. Besides, they did their crime, they paid the time. When I punish my kids, when its over, i never mention it again and resume normal relations. This allows people to learn from their mistakes.
Certainly you can see the problem with that considering certain crimes? Ever held a bonded position? Imagine how quickly a bonding company would go out of business if all ex-felons records came back clean. How about sex crimes, you willing to hire teachers that just finished a sentence for child rape?
