If they have proven themselves as good citizens by following the rules all the time and continue to do so after election is done so they can vote on the next one yes

@Cannabro Yeah yeah, for sure, I agree that their voting rights should be restored after they've done the time. But what about while they're still in prison?

That’s up to the commitee to decide if an inmate is following protocols enough to have voting rights based on individual growth potential vs actual growth done @Zoeoz

@Zoeoz Never. They should have considered that before they committed the crimes that got them in prison.

Besides, voting is absolutely the last thing a prisoner is thinking about.
Trying to get out early, better food, home, women, the next crime they are going to commit when they get out.......yeah. But voting.....no.
