Thanks for your comment. I should note that I'm just feeling this idea out:
>Prosperity preaching //
I think you've got it flipped. I'm not saying financial gain comes to those who 'believe' (I assume we're meaning those who are beneficial in society; indeed to some extent I think it's the opposite) but that justice should strip at least some of the cushion from the wealthy who are convicted of the most heinous crimes.
Yes, I realise that might not be consistent with USA constitutional law - but that doesn't necessarily show it to be a wrong course.
Basically I agree with your last paragraph and seek to equalise things - make leaving prison less onerous for the underprivileged and more for those for whom it causes little hindrance.
Why morally shouldn't punishment of convicted offenders sell to bring them down financially to a basic level?
