Should they get another chance--a get-out-free card for being good Christians?

This question doesn't make sense. Should who let Christians out of jail? Why were they imprisioned? Are you suggesting that if a person commits a crime but claims to be a born again Christian that they should not be punished? Everyone should be punished equally regardless of their religion.

No. That's ridiculous. There's already enough fake "conversions" and being "born again" and "finding god" in jails so people can get paroled sooner.
And if they were "good christians" who followed the 10 commandants why would they be in jail?

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you talking about religious prisoners, people who are locked up BECAUSE of their Christianity, or are you referring to common criminals who happen to be or profess to be Christians. In the latter case, I believe criminals should serve their full sentence. In the former case, in what country are these Christians imprisoned (I can't believe it is any "western world" nation)? The best plan, I think, is to diplomatically work with the governments involved to secure the prisoners' release.

No, being a Christian does not excuse the wrondoing one has done. Besides, why only Christians if that were the case? There are over 1000 religions.

Your question does not even make sense to me. People need discipline. They should be punished if they commit a crime, and jail is one of those punishments that is sometimes necessary. Christians ought to know that as well as anyone!

No, even though God has forgiven us of the sin behind the offense one still needs to repay their debt to society. If one commits a crime one should do the time.

No we should not be let go if we are guilty of a crime we are to pay the price.
That is unless that law goes against God.

Nope. They did the crime, they can do the time just like everyone else. They are not above the law.

They don't anyway, actually. This is another stupid question from you where I have to say again, learn the facts.

Yes, Jesus already posted bail by paying for our sins.
