No it's not how it works, doing your time is part of your punishment. But you have acquired yourself a criminal record and that comes with lifelong implications, your 'dues' are never 'paid'. Our society does not simply forget your crimes when you walk out of prison.

Hell there are people having FAL issues with just speeding tickets.

I tell my boys to keep their noses clean if they want to travel overseas, if they want good jobs, or ... if they want a FAL. If you want the privileges society can afford you then keep out of trouble. This now sends a different message.

Lets be honest, there's more going on here than he just cleaned up his act.
