If we as a society decide that it's worthwhile to rehabilitate criminals, then attatching a stigma to those who have been released is foolish. It only encourages ostracism and abusive treatment of someone who has supposedly paid his debt. Even when the treatment doesn't result in a killing, it's still a serious problem. Exposing anyone to abuse and persecution, let alone someone with a propensity to violence, is an effective way to create a monster.
