Prison should be a place of rehabilitation, not necessarily punishment (especially in countries such as ours where drug users are criminalised). Once a sentence is served, convicts should be free (and safe) to return to society without subsequent persecution. If there is a good reason to persecute them once their sentence has been served, then I'd argue that the sentence was not adequate or appropriate.
