Are criminals citizens?

Answer the following questions while following these requirements:
  • Write at least five complete sentences (including a topic sentence and a conclusion) in paragraph form.
  • Use specific details from the novel to support your opinion.
  • Use school-appropriate language.

Should released convicted felons be given the same rights as citizens with clean records? Should they be allowed to get driver's licenses? Should they be allowed to get any jobs they choose? Should they be allowed to travel across state/country borders? Should they be allowed to vote? Should they be allowed to live wherever they choose? Should neighbors be notified of where they live? What's more important, individual rights or public safety?
