By that I mean, completion of sentence, successfully completed parole, no longer on probation, etc. Felons have broken laws serious enough to be deemed a danger to society, and they lose their constitutional rights for that reason. However, once they have fulfilled their penal obligation, they should be readmitted into society and thus given their full rights back.
Nobody should ever lose their rights protected by the Constitution, because the Constitution doesn’t grant those rights, we are born with them. They are unalienable rights that no man can or should take from you.
*Guess I should clarify. I believe what I wrote above, unless you’ve done something that infringes on somebody else’s rights. Doing that forfeits your own rights, but I don’t think has to be ALL of your rights.
