No they shouldn't. Having a right to vote is part of your freedom and prisoners lost their freedom when they were sentenced.

@Ross19 I'm curious, because I seem to be in the minority, would you say that once a person has completed their prison sentence and they are released from jail, that their right to vote should be reinstated?

@BlueMetalChick Once the punishment is done and they are released then sure the right to vote is reinstated

@Ross19 That seems reasonable.
