    Just because a person is a criminal (depending on what type of crime they committed) doesn’t automatically make them a bad person who has no worth in life, maybe they were failed earlier in life and unfortunately made mistakes, which took them down the wrong path, clearly if they are writing scientific papers then they are clearly intelligent, and probably never had the chances that others were luckier to have. And shouldn’t people be given a second chance in life. Some reformed criminals have gone on to help different sectors in life improve on products, ie security for instance.
