Yeah they made some bad choices but if they've paid society for that choice why make it that much more difficult for them to be productive citizens? Preventing them from working will just make more leeches.

Two types of felons. Accidental and shite bag. Accidental= oops DUI, drunk fight, caught wife cheating beating type that is usually a one off, and the other is just a recidivist. They will do whatever as long as it's easy short term money. Sell weed, legalize weed, oh snap, then I'll sell Heroin. It's not weed that made them a criminal, it's the easy money without fear of repercussions that made the criminal.

The one offs would be okay I guess, but im not willing to allow them to stay as it muddies the water between meh and bad. Those people will leave without issue.

Now recidivists will not stop committing crime for the most part 70-80%. But these people dont commit crime every single waking hour, it's like ovulation, they go on criminal jaunts when they need/want something, the rest of the time they are pretty much like everyone else in their neighborhood.

So to make it difficult to live in those neighborhoods, forcing them to move to an area where they aren't instantly sucked back into the stimuli(people/influences) that "created" the criminal, you give them a better shot at being a half decent person.

TLDR Assertion: A criminal stands a better chance of recovery far removed from the area that made them a criminal.

Resources will be there to aid migration.
