He goes on to say:
"Currently we have a double punishment, the
actual period of time spent in jail, as well as the lifetime
disability. My recommendation is that a time period be set
forth at the completion of which disabilities ingendered by
conviction may be reviewed and lifted. In trying to
determine the length of disability one might look either to
a flat rule, in other words, in misdemeanors perhaps that
disability should last the length of time of the original
sentence.
"For example, if a man receives five years, server
his five years or is released early on parole and for an
additional five years should have no other conviction, then
(himself)
perhaps the disabilities that he found/vested with as a
result of his conviction could be lifted. It would appear
that this would be an incentive for leading a qood, usfu]
and productive life in society." |
