So when they are re-convicted and are being transported back to prison, what are they then?

Political correctness just shows a complete ignorance of how language works. It’s not the word that makes people think of something as “bad,” it’s what the word represents. And as soon as people learn that your new word represents the same thing, that word starts “sounding” just as bad.

Ping for the Nutter's City getting nuttier!
The hundreds of thousands of Philadelphians who have served time in prison will no longer be referred to as "ex-offenders" in official city language, the mayor's office announced Thursday. Instead, an ordinance will be introduced to call them "returning citizens."

“returning citizen”
A man or woman coming home from a tour in Iraq or Afghanistan is a returning citizen. These guys are ex-cons.

Smart political move. It’s easier for democrat politicians in Philly to win reelection if they are called “returning citizens” instead of “ex offenders”.
