Maybe. It'd depend on the severity of the crime, but I doubt I would forgive them no matter what.

You see, it's comments and beliefs like this that ironically make what you're saying happen. Instead of being accepted back into society, criminals are excluded and as a result form a minority social group in which they can meet other criminals which possess them to commit more crimes. It's a cycle they find hard to break out of, and it's because of comments like this. It really doesn't help matters...at all.
