The idea, perhaps inadventerily proposed by US constitution, is that citizens have rights with corollary that prisoners and non-citizens don't. It is nauseating how acceptable it is that non-citizens and prisoners are not entitled to pursuits of happiness. It's one thing to punish murderers so harshly and quite another thing to roll up shoplifters into same groups and strip them of virtually all of their rights.
