Many people have broken the law, and so did people in jail. But regular people don’t think of their selves as criminals because they haven’t been caught. Criminals in jail get discriminated against when they get out of jail. Little things that people do everyday that is breaking the law, people have years in prison for it. I don’t think that it is fair that people gets life in jail for little things they may do. Everyone committed a crime or broke the law before, even if they didn’t know it was breaking the law. The rights of convicts is not fair like they may not be able to vote, or work at certain places or not even buy their own house. They still are citizens of the U.S. Just because they have committed a crime before and did jail time doesn’t mean citizen privileges should be taken away from them. Like if you went to jail at 17years old and got out when you were 20yrs; and the age of 40 or even 50 you still would be banned from doing things according to your record. It is not fair. Some people may even go to jail and when they get out they get treated unfairly, for something they didn’t do. Like on a TV I was watching, these teenage boys got accused of raping a lady and they kept saying they didn’t do it but no one believed them. About 15 years later a man admitted that the teenage boys didn’t do it and it was really him. The people just go by what people say and not by evidence. Honest people get put in jail mistakenly for things they didn’t even do.
