I think that released convicted felons should be given the same rights as citizens but should not have clean records. I think they should be allowed to get their drivers license. They shouldn't be allowed to get any job they want. You wouldn't want your kid to be taught by a felon. I do not think that convicted released criminals should be allowed to travel across state/country borders, unless it's for work. They should be allowed to vote and live where they chose, but all neighbors in the near areas should be notified of where they live. I think public safety is more important than individual rights, although those are very important. I think there is a way to keep both an individual and the public happy. There can be a compromise in between public safety and individual rights.

Convicted felons should be given the same right as citizens with clean records, because they should give a chance to start a new live and make it right and not doing something bad for them-self. They should get a job with the help of the court and get to buy thing like a driver licenses, a house/apartment. They should get to go on trips as long as they have a licenses.

1 I believe that some convicted felons should be treated like someone with a clean record.If the person is showing that they have become a better person than yes they should be allowed to get drivers licence and travel and also vote.They should not get judged about what they have done if they became a better person.Also if you are convicted of murder or rape than they should not be able to live where they want or travel.If they are a papist or murderer then the neighbors should know.This is what I think about this topic.

I honestly don't think criminals are citizens. They have no right to be. I also think it depends on what the crime was. If the crime was really that bad, then I don't think they should be able to have a driver's license. I also don't think they should be able to travel, or be able to vote. They did the crime, so I think they shouldn't be treated the same as people with clean records.

17- I think that convicted felons shouldnt be given the same rights as people with a clean record. It does depend on the crime they acted upon though. If they are a convited sexual preditor I beleive they shouldnt be able to work or live anywhere they want. I think murderers shouldnt be allowed to do a lot of things either, but it would be different if they were defending themselves. I think public safety is more important than indivisual rights because we have to be safe and if the did the crime then they should have to face the after affects.

I think criminals should not have the same rights as citizens. The reason why because criminals are just crazy/dumb people. Why would you want to give a stupid person some rights. They should not have a driver licenses because they could probally robb a bank or something bad. The only job that they should get is picking up trash because they trash to me. They should not come over the borders because its not their country. For example, the drug cartel do it all the time. So it won't matter. Why should they vote, they probaly don't care who wins. They could live were there is fences around them. I think neighbors should be notified because you can't trust people. I think safety is more important.

17-1 I agree with everything you said because it really just depends on the crime and what they got convited for.

Releasing convicted felons with the same rights as citizen with clean records is a touchy subject; See there are cons and pro to this preposition that both keep each others points balanced. If they were to be released they would have to be given certain rights that only citizens with clean records have. Some of course would be leaving state/country borders without a judges permission, and voting. These convicted felons can choose to live where they want but the neighborhood would have to be notified beforehand. Overall it is hard to balance out both individual rights and public safety as they both stand under our document of law, making this a hard decision.

Convicted felons should not have the same right as citazens with clean records. It's not fair. If they commit a felon they should be punished for whay they have done. They should not have the right to have a drivers license. Convicted felons should have to work at certain jobs until they finally learn to stop doing the wrong. They should be aloud to vote. Just because they comitted a felon, doesn't mean you take their right to vote. The person should also be submitted to a shelter where they are being supervised.

I agree with you on the fact that criminals should not be judged about what they have done if they become a better person, but how can you tell if they have become a better person, or just need to get people to think they are, until they're ready to commit their next crime?

I do not think that released convicted should be given the same rights as citizens with clean records because they have don't time and they need there trust back first. They should should not be allowed to get a driver's license tell they are out for a wail and they should show that they can be trusted. They should take the job they can get with the back grande check. Criminals should have to stay in the states so they can be watched. They should be allowed to vote because that is not a big or dill. They should be allowed to as long as they don't leave the state for the first year. I the neighbors want to know they have the right but if they don't they don't need to now. I say public safety is more important then the individual rights because they need to be safe and if they person is harm full they should be away.

I definitely agree with you that when criminals commit a crime, they should not expect to be treated like a good citizen with clean records.

A convicted felon that have been released should be treated like a felon.A felon should not be able to get a driver's licenses because that is one way that they can get away from the law and also having a drivers licenses is a privilege to have.Released felons should be able to get the job that they want because they could start to change their lives if they had something to look forward to.They could pass state/country borders if the police know.No, because they turned their back to the law.Yes, they can live anywhere they want to but the public need to know that they are there.What is more important is the safety because people deserve to know that someone has done something bad and they need to know that someone unsafe is near their family.

I don't think that criminals should have the same rights as citizens who have not done anything wrong. In my opinion I think that everyone is and should be treated like a citizen but if a citizen does something wrong they become a criminal and I think the criminal should do there time and once they accomplish it they will be treated like a citizen once again.

In ways i say yes and no about some of the things convicted felioes are allowed and not allowed to do. No, I do not think that they should be able to leave the state. I think this because that they shouldent be able to cause there still a convicted felon, and that i wouldent trust them outside of the state. with drivers licenses they would still need that cause they still need to travel. I think that they can vote cause even though they are convicted i see no individual right for them not to. They should live in a area more secluded, mostly because it would cause to ,uch tenstion in that neighborhood. They should be allowed to choose there job but nothing were it is a really importan, something to just get him by. So with some things i think that he should have some inducidual rights but we still have to think of public saftey, so im 50 50.

6. convicted felons should be allowed some of the citizen rights. one should me they have to let there neighbors know who is living next to them like sex a fenders. i say they can go where they want to go but cant leave continent only on a special leave they can. they should be allowed any job they want, why so they can get the job that they want to work at. u can see how my criminal citizens would be like.

1 to 20 I agree that convicted felons should still be able to vote.

7. I think that convicted felons should be given the same rights as citizens. They should be able to get driver license. When it comes to any job they want i think it should be up to the one who would be employing the felon to choose whether or not they deserve the job. I think that there should be a amount of time they have to wait before they could travel across borders. Felons should be able to vote and i do think that neibors within the distance of where the felon is living should be warned for safety reasons. In conclusion i think that individual rights are more important tan public safety but i think it depends on what kind of felony the felon committed.

I agree that people don't want their kids to be taught by a felon but maybe their job could give them something to look forward to.

yes they are because in technicality they where citizens before and they will be citizens after all of it. So would it make sense that they are still citizens even though they did something bad. I don't think that they should have all the rights again because after all they can do it again. See like Eric is fine because he is always being watched so he wont do it agian.

I think convicted felons should have the same rights as us because they are people. The only problem is they did a wrong thing. They should be able to move becuse so they dont get tempted to do what they did again. The neighbors should know where they live just in case. They should be able to work because i dont think the goverment wants a crimal on the streets.

Released convicted felons should be given most of the same rights as citizens with clean records. I think they should be allowed to get a driver's license because if they have a job or something they are gonna need a way to get around. I think they should only be allowed to have certain jobs that have them focus only on the job at hand and not anything else. If they are going to cross state/country borders I think they should get permission from the law and/or be accomponied by someone. I think they should be allowed to vote. I dont think they should be allowed to live wherever they choose because they may live in that certain area for bad reasons and I believe a convict should be placed to live somewhere where there wont be a ny trouble. I do think that neighbors should be notified of where they live so that they can be aware of their surroundings. In conclusion, I think indivisual rights and public safety are both equally important.

yes, but you have to realize there are morals to punishing and essentials to live a life. Some rights should be taken away just as you would punish a toddler by taking away their toy for not sharing. but rights as getting a driver licence is essential.

I agree with you with somethings, but I still think that they should put some restrictions on some of the stuff he is or she allowed to do. Like i dont think that he should be able to travel becasuse what if the person thinks that he is goven more freedome and just commits another crime, it would just make it worse, so i think the person should be allowed to make a new life in the state he lives in. but yes i still thinks he needs a license and some of the neccesities.

11. I think that released convicts or felons shouldn't get civil rights. I think that depending on the seriousness of the crime. The way it should work would determine the seriousness such as if the crime was theft their neighbors should be notified of the released convict moving next to them. And the more serious the crime the less the civil rights. As a serious crime like murder and the convict isn't put on death row and is eventually released then the criminal should not be allowed to move near anyone within a 1,500 foot radius. And the convict wouldn't be able to buy a car or get certain jobs. buy the way butter

I think that felons should have some of the rights that most citizens with a clean record have. Depending on the situation and the job they want. Yes they should have the right to get a driver's licence. Yes they should be allowed to vote and choose where they live. They are all human beings just like the rest of us. They shouldn't be treated differently because of what happened in the past.

I think that every one has the right to work where they want if they meet the requirements. Plus they shouldn't be publicized for their actions. Also they should not be punished for what they did in other areas such as driving, unless its a serious driving offence. Every man or woman deserves rights.

I agree that having your driver's license is a privilege to have. Criminals don't deserve to have one.

7. I disagree with you #16 because people are hard to predict and what if they're in the transition of changing? Then they wouldn't get the chance to because nobody would treat the felon fairly, but it does depend on the felony.

19. For a person to have the same rights as people that have clean records; I think depends on the crime that the "criminal" committed. If the crime was minimal then I think they should have the same rights as everyone else. They're still people and they deserve the same things, opportunities and privileges that anyone else has. Which means they'd have the rights to vote, travel, drive, have the job of their choice etc, but when these people do these things I think that they should be tracked so that people know where they are. Just to be careful. Especially where these people live. Neighbors should know who they are living by and what kind or risks they may be taking living next to them. Public safety should be one of the main things we should be worried about, but I feel that the rights of people is also important.

i dont agree with you, even though they should have rights i really dont think they should be able to leave the state or country, they still commited a crime, and there still needs to be ristrictions.

19. I agree with 11. That a persons civil rights depends on the severity of the crime that the person committed.Especially if the crime was murder. That person should have very little civil right and freedom.
