I think that relesed convists should not have theto same right os people with clean records because what they did in the pass thgey may want to do the same thing to other people. I think they should not get drives licenses because they may whant to get out of the state our country. i think that dipending on what they did they should get thet job they want to work on. They should be able to travle only if they check in with someone like the perol offecer so they dont do any thin bad. People should be able to vote because it depends on the people that vote for every one else. Yes they should be able to live were ever they want because you wouldnt want to be told what to do 24/7. Yea neighbors should be notified because what if they want what to hurt there family our the hurt someone else. I think that public safty is better then having a killer live next to you but at the sametime you whant to live how you want. In conclusion at the sametime peole xchange over time and some people dont but at the sametime thing happen unexpectedly. 5.#7

In my opinion criminals are citizens that have not made some good choices. They should be aloud to get a license because just maybe they will try to get a new life. They should be able to if they qualify for the job they decide to get. Yes they should be aloud to travel across borders because maybe they have family in other countries. Yes of course voting should be allowed because if they got arrested and didn't get to vote they might get really mad and go back to a life of crime. So also criminals should be allowed to choose where to live but the neighbors should be notified. Yes I agree that public safety is needed but released criminals are still people to.

I think it depends on what the convicted felons do and and individual cases. I think they should be able to get a license. I think they should be able to vote. I think they should be able to live by schools, and parks, and places like that. I think neighbors should be notified if a criminal lives by them. I think public safety is more important than individual rights.

Many convicts dont feel like their citizens but they should have the right to. Convicted felons should have the right to be treated like a citizen. I think they should given a chance to get a licenses. Felons should be diven a chance to get a job of their choice. THey can go over any border, people just have3 to see the person they were before they did the thing they did mabey they would be a good person. They should be able to live were ever they heart chooses. I think neighbors should be aware butnot afraid. To sum it all up individual right and public safety have the same rationg in importancy.

6.6 I believe that released convicted felons should have most rights as citizens but should have the same record no matter what. They should be able to get their drivers licenses if what they are a felon for doesn't involve driving. If they don't have anything else to to with the law they should be able to travel wherever they want. They should also be aloud to vote, and choose wherever they want to live. Depending on what they are a felon for their neighbors should be notified. Individual rights is a nice thing to have and politically correct but in reality public safety is more important.

I think that convicted people should not have the same rights as someone that has a clean record. If someone has been let free no one knows if they have really changed or if they plan to do the same crime all over again.I think that everyone should know where any kind of criminal lives. If nobody knows where criminals live then if something was to happen normal citizens will not know how to react. Another reason is because people should be given the knowledge to be able to take necessary precautions just to be safe. In conclusion people with criminal records should not have the same rights as a person without.

Convicted felons should be given the same right depending upon what their crime was. They should be aloud to test and even practice driving under surveillance. I believe they should be able to get a job, but they should have to prove that they are capable of doing the job correctly and that there felony won't get in the way of the job. I also think they should be aloud to travel across state if the do not have a smuggling or weapon felony. They should be aloud to vote because that is a right every American should have. They should be given the option to live freely as long as it is a safe neighbor hood. The neighbors should be notified about the person and what they were convicted of. All in all public safety and individual rights are both important and should be given to everyone equally.

Yes, I believe that people with a clean records or not should he the same rights. They should be allowed to receive a driver's licenses. They should not be allowed to work at any job they choose. They should not be allowed to cross the borders because they might try to run or lots of other stuff.If they are 18 or older then they should be able to vote because you can't change or bend the rules for one or a few people it wouldn't be fair so other would get mad and complain. They should not be able to live within a 5 mile radios from schools, child care or parks. Neighbors should be notified of where they live so they can keep a closer watch on the young one and there loved one. All in all, the public safety is more important because you should safe a group of people over a person. One out weights the other.

6.6 In someways I disagree with 6.05, we can't assume they will change their life around and start making good choices but they should have some rights.

I think that they should be given the same right when they get out. They should be able to get their own drivers license when they get out of detention. They should be able to travel across state lines but not country for a period of time. They should be watch for a while until they aren't expected to do any thing wrongly. THey are still US citizens and they still have the same rights as the US citizens. They should be able to live were every they like. The neighbors should be notified of the criminal. What is more important is the public's safety. They haven't done any thing wrong. They should know how they are living next to.

6.4 Convicted felons should be given the same rights with clean records. They should be able to get driver's licenses because they need to get to places they have a life to. They shouldn't get any jobs they want because they meet rap little kids. They shouldn't be allowed to travel across the state or country because the meet be up to know good. Should be able to vote because they too should choose who is in charge with this country. They be able to choose were ever they want but they have to send out a letter of waring. All in all, public safety is more important them one person because it's just one person's safety and public is thousands of people.

Released convicted felons should not be giving the same rights as others. They have done something bad killing,stealing,rape,etc. and should have to win their liberty back. The released should be able to get a drivers license but only if they have proven their self's worthy. Some released criminals can go back to killing or doing their crime if they are put in a environment that will provoke them so their jobs should be specific.In the first years of release they should not be able to travel because they might do their crime in another country. They should still be able to vote because its still their country. Even tho they are living a new live they should still be watched by were they live if the criminal was a kid killer they should not be able to choose to live in a public school area. The neighbors should be notified if they have an ex-criminal in their street so that they can protect their family. Certainly, the released criminal should have their rights but they should still have some limits to what they can do because they might go back to doing crimes and might hurt the rest of the citizens.

6.22--> I think that convicted felons shouldn't be given the same rights as citizens with clean records. The reasoning for that is because, the convicted felons did wrong and if they didn't want to be treated differently then they shouldn't be doing wrong. And when I say wrong, I mean them committing crimes, raping, or stealing. I really don't think that they should be able to get their license either because they might try and do bad things with the car, and then they will get their license suspended again. Well I think that the convicted felons should be able to have a job, but not any jobs that they want. Their not bad people they just might want to do things they seen all their lives, and they don't know how else to act. Well I don't really know if they should be able to cross country borders, I'm not sure on that one. But if they been doing things to help them become a better person, then yeah I think they should be able to cross country borders. Yes, they should be able to vote. I don't think all of their rights should be taken away. The neighbors should be notified that a convicted felon lives next door or down the street from them. I think that both are more important because, all of the felons rights shouldn't be taken away and the public safety is really important so that people aren't just getting hurt all the time. All in all, convicted felons should not have all of their rights taken away just because they did one thing wrong. People shouldn't just block them out of the picture, they are people just like us.

I think that if you get convicted as a criminal that you should not get the same privileges as a U.S citizen. I don't think that if you are arrested that you shouldn't get to get a drivers license. They also shouldn't be able to vote or leave the country. Surely, I don't think criminals should get the same right's as other U.S citizens.

Convicted felons should not be given the same rights as people with clean records. Depending on what they were charged with depends on if they should get a drivers license or not. Convicted felons should not be allowed to get ant jobs the choose. I would not want a child molester watching my kids. I guess they could travel, but only because they might be trying to turn there life around, or might have to live with a family member. Convicted felons should be able to live where ever they want depending on what they were convicted for. Neighbors should know if they are live close to a convicted felon for their own safety! Depending on the situation the safety of the public is more important, because they knew that when they committed a crime they would have rights taken away! Obviously, the safety of the public is way more important then the rights of a convicted felon. The way things work mostly depend on whats going on.

I think that felons should have same of the rights that citizens have, but with a few restrictions. They have to be able to get a driver's license, because they get a license to drive a car,which in turn makes them track able. The should be able to get the license, so they can go places, to be with there family, or to get away from a place that fills them with crazy memories. They will have to tell their parole officer and notify a nearby police station when they get to their destination. They shouldn't be allowed to get any type of job, because if they were mass murders, and decided to work in a meat factory would not turn out well. To cross borders through countries they should have to send their parole officer where they are going for how long, because they will have to return in some point to keep an eye on the convict. All the neighbors should be notified of their presence, but should never be completely terrified of the convict. I don't see how voting has any real impact in the convicts lives, so they vote for a senator for president at all, so at least give it to them. Back to my point of they need to tell their parole officers where they go if they are going to live somewhere, but besides that living anywhere should be aloud. To sum up, I think that convicts should be aloud some to most freedoms of normal citizens, but must notify their officer and neighbors of their intentions.

I think that it depends on what convected felon did. They should get driver's licenses. They should be allowed to get any jobs that they choose. I also think that should be able to vote. They should be allowed to live wherever they choose. I think that neighbors should notified of where they live. Clearly these are the reasons why public safety is more important.

6.22--> I disagree with you number 20, because if the felons live closer to the schools then they will be able to commit more crimes, probably without anybody knowing it.

There are many reasons why convicted felons should have the same rights as citizens with clean records. I think it depends on the felony that they may have committed cause it might have been a major felony or a minor , if it were a minor like for example stealing something from a store than i think it shouldn't really matter, and if it were a major like having a DUI or something worse than i think they should take some time off before they get a driver's license. I personally think they shouldn't get any job they want because they might have committed a murder and they would like to work in a children's care place they might need to have the person under surveillance or under some good watch so that he may not commit another felony. I think they should be able to travel across the country or cross borders but to make sure they let an authority know where they're going and where they will be at. In all honesty i think they should be able to vote because that has nothing to do with what they have committed. I think they should be able to live wherever they live but also keep under very good watch. I think neighbors should be notified where the criminal lives so they know what to watch out for . I think that both individual rights and public safety are both important because they should be able to know and think that they're in a safe place and shouldn't have to be afraid of there sorroundings , also individual rights are important because i think everybody should have the same rights as everyone else it's only fair. All in all, these are my reasons and my own opinions why i think criminals should be citizens. :)

I think that released convicted felons shouldn't have the same rights because how do you know that they are the type of person that doesn't care and say if he does get the same rights then they will take those rights for granite.Then they will probably do the same think that got them in there.Also if they are the rapist and get a car and can drive that just helps them out with what ever they are doing then they have a better chances of getting away.I think that the neighbors should be notified because if they have kids then they will know to be more protective.I think that it deepens weather they get to choose were they live depending on how bad there record is.I think that both rights are very important and every one should be worried about both rights.So all in all i think that convicted felons shouldn't have the same rights.

The criminal should be able to get a new life but at the first years after release they should still be watched in case if they fell tempt. to kill etc. Some criminals never do the crime again but some never learn an will hurt others only because the police didn't take care of what they should and shouldn't do.

I think released convicted felons should be given some of the same right as citizens with clean records. I think convicted people should be allowed to drive. I think they should be allowed too because yea they did what they did but maybe they are trying to change and be a better person. They should be allowed to travel because what if they have an emergency. Voting is important to the state and convicted people have the right to vote also. Neighbors should not be notified i think people that get out of jail are trying to change, we shouldn't get into their life's. In conclusion, they are allowed to make new friends a new house with a new life.

I think that convicted rapests', kidnappers, "predetors",and anybody that did something against females or kids should be in a situation that if the courts do decide to let them go they should have to be checking in and have an eye kept on them.They should not be left alone, they might be a target to a family member of a victum, especially if they had more than one victum. Serial killers are individuals that snapped and were not caught early enough they enjoyed the exitment of killing there victum so they kept doing it. But felons, and cons with families of ther own are most likely not going to want to execute another crime; if ther time is served they should be let back in to society and not looked down on or maybe even idolized. Some may think going to jail is cool but that opinion changes.

You are right that no one wants some child molester to watch your kid, but they look through records before hiring a person. They would see that a the person was a child molester and would not hire them. As goes for any other job.

6. 17 I think released convicts should be given the same rights as other citizens. I believe this because they have already served their time. I also think they should have the right to get driver's licenses too. Although depending on their crime, they should be able to cross state/country borders. They should be allowed to vote because they are still americans. Public safety shouldn't be involved because after they get out of prison they should be rehabilitated.

I think convicted criminals should have all the rights as a citizen. They should be able to get another chance unless they have done something really bad.If they have done something really bad like what Eric Poole did they should not have been allowed out of prison. They should be able to get there drivers license because its not fair to not give them another chance. They should also be able to get any job they want. Also they should be able to vote and go anywhere they want. So i think they should be able to do what ever they want just like a normal citizen. The only thing that should happen to convicts that doesn't happen to any other citizen is there neighbors should be notified. In conclusion I think that criminals should be treated as citizens.

I think released convicted felons should not have the same right with people who have a clean records because they do something bad in the past to others. I think they should not get a driver's licenses because they might going to do some bad stuff. I think that depends on what they did and choose a wright job for them. I not sure because they might do some bad things over there,or maybe not. I think they should allowed to vote because they have the own right to vote. I think should not choose to live wherever they want because they might hurt other people around them. In conclusion, released convicted felons it depends on what they did on the past and what are they doing.

No I don't think they should have clean records. Yes they should be allowed to have drivers licenses it should be fair. They could get jobs that they choose but, its going to be hard because there case has been heard everywhere. They could be allowed to leave the state/country but they should be watched like the Lieutenant on Eric. They could but that's thing when the register they could denied it because of there criminal crime. I don't think they should be allowed to live wherever they want but it depends on the judge or who will they live with. Yes neighbors should be notified of where they live because they want to keep there children safe including themselves. What's more important is both. In conclusion criminals are still citizens it should be fair and if there's a criminal living in your area you can deal with it but if you don't like it then move that's what I think.

to #5--#5, I do agree with you that convicts should have most freedoms that normal citizens, but they should be given complete freedom. If they were to have complete freedoms they would psychologically think that the government won't do much of anything to them if they start committing crimes then get sent back to jail for another time that was already spent another day. Overall, I don't agree with your point and hope that you can reconsider your thinking process.

I think it should depend on what they did to become a convicted felon. I think they should be allowed to get a driver's licenses because everyone needs to drive. No they should not be able to get the jobs they choose because it will not be fair to the people with the clean records. I honestly don't care if they travel across state or the borders, at least they won't be here! Yes they should live where they want and yes the neighbors should be notified. Clearly I think it depends on what made them convicted felons in order to get freedom and rights.
