So often we hear folks say.."since the felon has paid his debt"..
If for instance it were a crime like theft or fraud and the felon has gotten forgiveness, done his time , and paid everything back which he cost the victim and the state..perhaps..
However; if that crime was rape, murder, molesting children, hook someone on dope, or intentionally cause serious and permanent injury to another.. the felon may serve time, but there is no way on God's green earth he can "pay his debt"!!
How in the world can one "un-rape" a woman or child ? How can he bring back a life once taken? How can he restore the physical and mental health of somebody destroyed by dope/ and how can he make a parapalegic or Quadrapalegic to walk and function at 100% again?
