point taken. i still don't agree that the rest of someones life
should be
an extension of their prison sentence.

It's generally accepted that convicted criminals forfeit large
sections of
their "rights". Being in a jail or prison is certainly cutting
down on
their
"right" to liberty - and if you're a convicted felon, you also
usually lose
your "rights" to vote or own firearms. In general, the various
branches
of government are free to restrict any other "rights" they
choose, as long
as they manage to stay clear of the Eighth Amendment prohibition
against
"cruel and unusual punishment".
