Once they get out, certainly. A person convicted of a small theft at age 19 and sentenced to a small sentence should not have no democratic rights at age 79.

I'm the only one to vote Yes.
What's wrong with you guys? Too much thirst for revenge? Too little respect for your fellow men?

what? kind of like the respect criminals have for us???

Not all criminals are psycho freaks who want to bomb everything they can get their hands on.

I am a big fan of democracy, so of course I will say yes. Voting is a right worth more than life itself. Give me democracy or give me death!

This is why the voting age should be eliminated as well. Anyone who disagrees with me is that much closer to Hitler Cheesy



The whole point in removing a convicted criminals right to vote is due to the fact that the criminal permaturely removed somebody elses constitutional rights. I don't have a problem giving back voting rights to someone who robbed or carjacked someone. But a murderer should never get back the right to vote. Ever.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

But 3 rights make a left Smiley
