Our Natural Rights Are Put At Risk By Leniency To Convicts
One possible problem is that too many rights are being extended to prisoners. There was a reason why when the Thirteenth Amendment was passed to forbid slavery or bonded servantry in the United States that an exception was made for criminals. That is so that they could be better monitored and controlled. These are individuals that have a proven tendency to violate the natural human rights of other human beings and who are most likely already hostile to the government which makes them ideal candidates for recruitment. The ACLU is a champion of given prisoners rights, among which seems to be the right to harm others, that the U.S. Constitution does not grant them as you can see by the Thirteenth Amendment.
My question is if the government can not control such extremist in such ideal setting then how can they protect us from them in the outside world where they can blend in with the average person or keep a neighborhood terrorized into silence and so operate in the open as gangs do.
My source about study on terrorist recruitment is our jails.
