The ostracism should end when the punishment ends.

Perhaps taking away the right to vote IS part of the
punishment..

Besides, how about parole agents? THe requirement for
sex offenders to register? etc etc..

Do you hold this belief with any type of criminal?

Ohh.. Cosmic.. A few more interesting links..

bop.gov

ojp.usdoj.gov

Lifetime chances of a person going to prison are higher for
-- men (9%) than for women (1.1%)

-- blacks (16.2%) and Hispanics (9.4%) than for whites (2.5%)
Based on current rates of first incarceration, an estimated 28% of black males will enter State or Federal prison during their lifetime, compared to 16% of Hispanic males and 4.4% of white males.


I suppose that means AAM have 7 times as much of a chance of
entering state or federal prison in their lifetime as a
White American Male..
