Just not label them a felon and restore their rights as everyday citizens. Seems pretty simple.


Go do some research on what a felon is and why they've lost those rights in the first place. The history goes back several hundred years and is rooted in common law where someone commits an act so heinous and has so violated the contract of civilized society, they lose certain privileges for life, like voting.

If they can't be full citizens, don't let them out. Felony restrictions for freed prisoners is fricking retarded.
