I think it is up to the courts and the person's probation officer. US Travel is easier to get approved then overseas I'm pretty sure.

i believe the question was AFTER supervision.

Canada, Japan and Austraila do not normally admit felons. Each has a specific procedure to gain permission.

So once you done your time for your crime. The US Government continues to imprison you? Or does the countries not allow us in their country because of their own laws or pressure from the US?

It has nothing to do with US laws.

Wendy,

Hi, I want to expound on Mr. Kieffer's response. It is the laws of the other nations, which is interesting to note in the case of the Australia, for it was originally a penal colony for the British empire, much like one of the 13 colonies here was established as.

As for pressure from the U.S. having a very strong distrust of of any "government" but especially lately of our own, honestly, doubt it, can't prove it, however, it would not surprise me.
