Should Prisoners Be Allowed To Vote?
https:/
If the voting rights remain limited to prisoners with less than a year to serve, then I have no real issue with it (although I do wonder why they can't wait a year), but if the year starts to creep to be two years, and then five and so on, I would object.
There's no suggestion the time period will be amended to include longer term prisoners, but purely for the sake of the argument if it was, I would struggle with the idea of allowing people who have chosen to live outside of society's rules have a say in electing people whose job it is to make those rules.

As probably the only AB member who has worked inside a jail teaching adult literacy , I can vouch for the fact that many prisoners are effectively illiterate. In most cases that was a major factor in their becoming criminals and hence in jail. Very poor job prospects for someone who can hardly read or write!
Rehabilitation to 'normal' life outside is vital for long term prisoners nearing release to come to terms with getting back into society, that is why I am in favor of this proposal.

Eddie....I did some voluntary work in prisons, back in the late 70's, teaching pottery. I was assisting my Pottery Teacher. I hated it and after a few months, gave it up.
The curious smell that you get in Prisons.....like a mixture of Jeyes Fluid and pee ( which it probably was, of course) The constant jangle of keys and the slamming of iron gates got me down. I also worked in Prisons a few times, with BT, repairing their phone systems and payphones, but I'm glad I don't have to do it now.

" It was an emotional experience, how many of you have had a grown 'hard' man cry because you have had to read him a letter telling him his wife has left him?"
