Unless that person has comitted more crimes they were not previously prosecuted for. Which is not entirely unlikely if they are emboldened by having avoided punishment thanks to the backing of a corrupt POTUS. I.E. multiple Jan 6’ers. I would expect high rates of recidivism for beneficiaries of Trumo pardons.
Albeit prosecuting new crimes is not undoing a pardon, but it may achieve a measure of justice anyway.
Right, they would be subject to new prosecution for new crimes because of their recidivism. The pardoned crimes are no longer relevant to whether they end up incarcerated again. My point is that we have already seen high rates of recidivism in those pardoned by Trump, and a reformed Attorney General’s office or states can prosecute crimes that haven’t been pardoned. This doesn’t provide justice for the corruption of bad pardons, but if the end result is incarceration just the same, then that might be close enough to justice.
I think we are in agreement, I guess I didn’t phrase my initial comment particularly well.
I took OP’s wording to mean re-incarcerating them for the same crime, although it’s not explicit in that either now that I’m looking at it again. Anyway yeah let them rot, idgaf what for. They got Capone on tax evasion. 🤷♂️
I’m pretty sure that to re-incarcerate someone after they were pardoned would require a new trial, which would violate the double jeopardy clause.

Recidivism doesn’t have anything to do with being re-incarcerated for the thing they were originally incarcerated for.
