Indeed; by creating pariahs of people with criminal records, all you do is ensure that those people have no real choice but to turn to crime to survive. On top of that, because they FEEL like outcasts from society, they have less social responsibility, and they feel less guilt about acting out of pure self-interest.
A self-fulfilling prophesy.
