Depends. If you were foolish in your youth, have now matured...and deserve a break etc...then fair enough.
If you are a thieving piece of crap...no.

Very true. However, whilst they are in there, they are not inflicting their low morals, standards and more importantly, criminal behaviour..on the rest of us.
If they cannot stop thieving or whatever it is they do....have ever increasing sentences to spare the rest of us*.
