As far as I'm concerned ether lock someone up, or let them be free. Don't make them live like an animal, otherwise they will act like one.

If the government wants landlords to rent out rooms to felons, then they should be responsible for giving the landlords incentive to do such a thing. What landlords risk every time they rent out to a tenant is a "bad" tenant who does not pay or damages/destroys the property. Landlords want to minimize that risk and hence do credit checks and background checks.
