Unlike the US, Europe doesn’t make a habit of punishing criminals for the rest of their lives, and forcing them into further criminality.

As a general rule, if you’ve served your time, then you’ve repaid your debt to society and should no longer be punished.

Having employers apply extra-judicial punishment to those how have already been sentenced and and served their time is kinda barbaric, and totally defeats the point of having a justice system.

If you served your time, you spent the amount of time in prison that the judge decided you should spend in prison. That's it. There is no repayment. There does not have to be any reparation, remorse or consistency to the punishment.

You probably don't want the pedophile repeat offender to work at your daughters kindergarten. He has no right to be there and he is unsuitable. Not getting a job is not punishment.

Erm yeah, they’ve been judged by the judicial system that as a society we’ve agreed gets to decide that repayment to society looks like. Don’t like it, change the laws, you presumably live in a democracy.

Again, there are already legal constructs that handle this, and are managed by the judicial system. Bound by the laws created by democratically elected leaders.
