Depends on what the first chance was. The war on drugs has done an incredible amount of damage to our country.
Should someone convicted of embezzlement be trusted with money again? probably not but thats not a govt decision in most cases.
Voting and such should be restored if the person has served their time.
If a person isn’t safe to be in society and trusted as such they should be in jail.
Mine was felony drunk driving and despite the fact that I haven’t drank for years, I’ll probably never be a bus driver. I’m OK with that but I am irritated that an unknown illegal alien can work in an airport but I’m too much of a threat.
I personally was a drug offender (6.5 years sober now). But you make an excellent point, I think that especially goes for sex offenders.
One more thing, the voting thing depends on which state you live in. I was convicted in Virginia and when I got out I couldn’t vote. A year ago i moved to NC, and now I can vote again. You should check with state and local laws, maybe you could figure out a way to vote again.
If someone has served whatever sentence or punishment and been a good and productive citizen after so many months or years, I would have no problem with a second chance. I would draw the line on sex offenders and violent crimes.
Precisely.
