What if they raped children or murdered people? How far does it go?
I can forgive but it also is wise to keep distance relative to the severity of the aberration.

1. False conviction rate is unacceptably high
2. It’s financially similarly burdensome to do life imprisonment as death penalty
3. Presence of death penalty doesn’t seem to impact homicide rates
I am all for putting some people in prison and never letting them out (because of high chance of recidivism).
Should people be able to choose it over a life sentence?
IMHO nitrogen would significantly bring that cost down
Should people be able to choose it? In general I'm all for assisted suicide, but I worry that it could be done coercively.
If lasting penalties are right for sex offenses against minors, why are they wrong for everything else?
If I was locked up again and had the choice who to hang with, it would be murderers all the way.
I'm still in contact with many of them on a day-to-day basis.
That depends on what the job is, isn’t it? If it would give them more access to children that would be cause for concern.
Same way about bank robbery. Previous bank robbery would give me a much bigger pause if we work on bank security or adjecent fields for example.
As they say, it takes a thief to catch a thief. Who would be able to protect the bank better than a former bank robber?
