This is the way i see it;
If you offend against society and the crime is serious enough to warrant a prison term, that prison term IS the punishment for your offending, and the punishment ought to be considered cruel and unjust if it continues on, for years past your release from prison.
Once you have served out your prison term and any period of probation (if any), your slate is clean IMO.
To continue to persecute a citizen, after serving their punishment for a particular offence, is essentially punishment for life, for any crime.
Not conducive to a healthy society, or individual.
