I took OP's wording to mean re-incarcerating them for the same crime, although it's not explicit in that either now that I'm looking at it again. Anyway yeah let them rot, idgaf what for. They got Capone on tax evasion. 🤷‍♂️

Recidivism doesn't have anything to do with being re-incarcerated for the thing they were originally incarcerated for.

I find it hilarious that the only people who can't talk about this online right now are also the only ones directly affected by it.

Someone would argue framer's intent, but that wouldn't get them very far because nothing means anything anymore

I'm pretty sure that to re-incarcerate someone after they were pardoned would require a new trial, which would violate the double jeopardy clause.

That could turn into a slippery slope

a tax law that grows exponentially

We've had this before, and can again. Look up FDR-era marginal rates.
