I'm a firm believer that once you have served your sentence, you get your rights back and should for the most part be treated the same as any other member of society.
There are of course exceptions when dealing with the most heinous of crimes, for example I am fine with sex offender registries. However I don't agree with denying them basic rights and access to relevant compensation. A criminal can be a victim of crime.
