Ridiculous notion! Not even you would believe this if you thought about it for three minutes. Example: Upon release they have parole officers and all kinds of restrictions. It is a sort of a halfway house on the way to (almost) full citizenship.
Halfway houses are set up to give parolees a decent shot of getting back on their feet out of prison. It's going to take some time to rebuild their reputation, and not a lot of apartments are going to rent out to the recently paroled.
If they got sent back on to the street after prison without a decent shot of getting a job to support themselves or a home to live in, they will quickly resort to crime again as a means of making a living.
Edit: As for parole officers themselves, I see no problem with a definite parole length so they can check in with the police and let them know they are living a good, honest life. What I have a problem with is an indefinite, post-prison punishment like indefinite parole or complete loss of 2nd amendment and voting rights for the rest of your life.

I agree. I dont have a huge problem with probation or parole, but once complete all rights should be restored, not just votign rights. And that goes for all levels.
