That's great. The law has punishments, we may not agree with all of them, some of us may thing they're too harsh, some of us may think they're too soft, but they are what they are, and we, as a society, agree to them, or we try to change them through elections... The one thing we can't do, is stigmatize people who have gone through the system that we have, as people who are inherently bad. I believe in rehabilitation, I believe that people can improve who they are, and I believe that even if they aren't better people, they still deserve the agreement that was made with them. If our judicial system says "5 years", that means 5 years, it doesn't mean 5 years in jail, and a lifetime of being a second class citizen.
