Rather it's being arrested for guilty by association, murder, and etc. Even with degrees some of them will still be put behind bars. Anything can happen at any given moment. Even some of them who has a felony did a three sixty turn around and started their own business or became president of a business or congress.

A felon is still a human being that should have an option (depending on what they did). You just have to put yourself in their shoes just for once when it around voting time. They could be given years for somebody else's dirty work. Or they can be smarter than you even known to be. Example is Charles
