Punishment beyond time served is a travesty, end of discussion. Otherwise, why the hell not leave them in prison for the rest of their lives?

Ex-felons can't get decent jobs (if they have to fill out an application the question, "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?" is a given); in some places they are ineligible for welfare; they can't vote; etc., etc., etc. This leaves an ex-felon with few alternatives but to return to a life of crime. It's called perpetual punishment.

As a self-proclaimed Christian, this kind of thinking goes against everything I've ever been taught about Jesus of Nazareth and his philosophy. That professed Christians are behind this stuff absolutely galls me.

Think about it...what would the Apostles' resumes look like?
