No, I largely feel the same about convicted murderers. Pedophiles go into that category of "very few things I would deem as irredeemable", something I mentioned in another comment.
Well, feel free to let them into your home and be the one to take on all the risk associated with helping them through their repentance. I'm sure it'll never go wrong ever at all, because all it takes is one time for it to all crumble on you.
Oh wait, you already admitted you wouldn't even date the girl yourself (something far easier than dealing with a murderer). So you just want everyone else to do things you won't.

Not at all. I didn't even say that she should be able to get what she's asking for. Since when did this joint get so wrapped up in binary mentalities that saying "man, the consequences she's facing does in fact suck" equate to "she should be absolved of everything she has done"?
So what is the point of your sympathy then if you won't help her, and you don't want other people to? To crow endlessly about how bad we feel for her while doing nothing? Because did you forget this part of what you said:
there should be ways back that don't leave people who legitimately want to change for the better behind in shitty places.
That's not just "man, her consequences suck," don't try to backtrack on it. Its actively calling for a change to the system to give her a way to absolve of her sins.
