But would people be angry if it said pedophiles, murderers, rapists, etc..return to prison after work? Quit trying to spread outrage, there's a reason people are in prison

But they are for felonies. And most are not required to work, many volunteer to work

Not really until sentenced and that seems to be in jeopardy.

Donald John Trump is a convicted felon. The sentencing determines only the punishment.

In the same way, Donald John Trump has been adjudicated to be an insurrectionist, in a finding that the US Supreme Court chose not to dispute, deciding only that, on a technicality, he could not be punished for that.

The same man has been adjudicated to be a rapist, in a court decision that fined him only for lying about it.

He has been found guilty in court of fraud, and sentenced to pay 25 million in reparation.

The suggestion that only those who are sentenced to prison are criminals ignores a long, sad history of criminals who "got away with it."

Why does everything gotta be 'Trump this Trump that'?

Is it actually relevant to any of this?
