Those people who get punishments that don't fit the crime are not trustworthy just because they don't have a gun. The fact that somewhere in the broken legal system, someone thinks that kind of person exists (because they release them), is broken beyond all comprehension. They SHOULD still be locked up.

Well, anyway, we need to make the punishments that are on the books consistent and uniform (and make sense). After that point, I agree with you that if a person serves their time and is released back into the world, they ought to be given back every right that they gave up when they were incarcerated.
And honestly, if a person serves their time, I would argue that their record should be expunged of the charge after a set amount of time, similar to how traffic tickets don't show up on your driving record after 7 years (or however long in different states). I mean, if you "paid your debt" then why should it follow you around for the rest of your life, right?
