answer:They were legally pardoned by the governor, so I don’t see how – legally – they can be re-jailed. It seems to me that this is political pressure gone wild. I am no fan of Barbour (although I like Mississippi for tourism), but he was the governor and this was a legal and official act. All the kerfuffle is political correctness and the cult of the victim. Let these guys stay free. [By the way – the statement that these were ‘prisoners whose parole had been turned down’ is somewhat disingenuous. Of course they had been turned down. If their parole have been approved then there would be no need for a pardon. That’s the whole point of pardons – they allow people who would not otherwise be free to get out of prison.] Anyway, they’re out, let ‘em stay out.
