> he doesn't deserve further extrajudicial punishment
1) You're explaining your own personal belief here and not referring to anything.
2) It is not extrajudicial punishment to not hire a child molester to work with children any more than it is extrajudicial punishment to not hire a bank robber to work at a bank.
Exactly. I'm all for giving people who have been in prison employment, but maybe not in the exact way that they went to prison for in the first place. He could have worked at a bagel shop for all I care.
