If he is still on prison he has not paid his timeSo what? What does that have to do whether a convicted felon that has paid his time should get one or not.
he is entitled to nothing
and after he gets out any helicopter money from the feds should go as restitution to his victims
Many states have a restitution program before the rights can be reinstated. Other states have a forced restitution program where the rights will NEVER be reinstated. The question here is, should the Federal Government get in the States face about the rights of released convicted Felons? I say no.
