Why do you feel you are the lone voice on the side of respecting his dignity and personal choice? That is only true if a) he has the same priorities/perspective as you b) his priorities/perspectives are violated by the OP(there is no shed of evidence of this; plenty to the contrary.)
Also, his definition of dignity could be not being homeless or dependent on his kids. If that were true, it would be in contrast to your view on human dignity.
Given that MY view is that he should fundamentally have a say, there is no way that what he wants for himself in any way contradicts what I am saying here. You are putting words in my mouth based on prejudice. I have not suggested he should value being homeless. Nowhere have I suggested any such thing.
I suggested that he should be given options and not have publicity crammed down his throat as his only option. If he desires to go the publicity route, awesome! More power to him. But if he doesn't desire it and is given zero options, he may go with it because he has been in prison for 11 years and the world has changed and he has few connections out in the world and a fuckton of obstacles.
