Doesn't a criminal give up their right to freedom by doing crimes?

So why wouldn't a war criminal give up their right to privacy by doing war crimes?

Sure they still have rights.

But not their right to freedom. That is why they are in prison. They aren't allowed to leave.

Ok, but only to an extent. Prisoners 100% get fingerprinted. Not sure if they collect their DNA too, but I wouldn't be at all surprised; to the point where I already assume they do.

I know for a fact that certain places now mandate collection of dna for many crimes.

Is it already proven that they are criminals or do you want to remove someone right in order to prove they are criminals?

but dont even go that far. you are now a criminal for saying something mean to a public figure on the internet, for jaywalking, for making a mistake in reporting your taxes, ...
