It's not a question of "fairness" it is a question of whatever penalty your state legislature attached to that particular law. (QUESTION: Bernie Madoff (multi-billionaire swindler) cheated thousands of people out of their entire life's savings but never committed 'violence' towards one of them. Should he go to jail?)

Duly convicted means that the conviction followed due process of law, which means that the trial preceding the conviction was fundamentally fair. The conviction includes the sentence which shall not exceed the maximum punishment annexed to the crime of conviction. Under the Thirteenth Amendment, a convict may be enslaved for a period of time not to exceed the maximum number of years punishment annexed to the crime of conviction. Any punishment that exceeds the maximum years of punishment annexed to the crime of conviction is undue and fundamentally unfair, which puts it in violation of the Fifth Amendment's prohibition of multiple punishments for the same crime and makes it a clear crime against the victim convicts humanity.

What were the good things that Richard iii?
He introduced bail into England in 1485. :) Bail allowed those convicted of a non-serious crime, e.g. theft, to pay a perscribed amount of money so they could be released during the time before their trial, because Richard believed it was not fair for an innocent person to stay in prision before their trial. The bail you payed was no longer valid if you travelled abroad in the time you were released. If you were convicted for a serious crime, e.g murder, and the authorities thought you could commit the crime again, the option of bail was not given. Sorry, but Richard III did not introduce bail into England. He enacted bail reforms, as had kings before him, but bail itself existed centuries before Richard III became king.
