Should felons in jail be allowed to vote?

Question

Answer

While they're in jail, no it's part of their total loss of privileges. When they get out, yes as long as they're compliant with their terms of parole.

Answer

In jail no....but once they are released they should get their voting rights back...and it shouldn't be as hard to get them back as it is now.

Answer

Just because they made a bad decision doesn't mean they are ignorant or unable to make decisions about the legistlative system. In fact, I'd argue they might have a different understanding of the legistlative, and judicial, system.

Answer

Yes. American is so focused on shaming criminals. Reintegrate them otherwise you label them a criminal for life.

Answer

No, they aren't apart of general society anymore. They lost their privileges due to the crimes they committed. After they get out, felon or not they should be aloud to vote tho

Answer

No. You lost your right ehen you committed the crime. Sorry bot sorry.

Answer

I dated an ex con..felon.
nice guy. realllllly like him.
but I disnt always know.
but then he wasnt dependendable...house arrest....any ways cared about him....hi ditched seeing me twice....I broke it off. I think it was the anxietybof talking about it. but he seems to be back in his old ways had a house arrest and another arrest..maybe 2 ...still poasible on parole....so..although I liked him a lot n he was nice but ditched me twice when I asked him to tell me everything.....knew him almost a year. anyways. his past is his past...but noe he has had a couple arrests in his present and was stood me up a couple times when he was too afraid to meets 3 times gave him a chances
 he still a apologizes and wants to see me and it makes me weak...but I don't think I'm ready for him and his issues. I used to but not when he didnt show up for me. when he hits me up now it makes me weak. but I think its best he focus on himself and me on myself. he can't give me anything extra in my life now.

Answer

My uncle, who is a felon, said once you've been incarcerated you lose your right to vote...not sure if it's true but thought I'd throw that in here.

Answer

They most definitely should get to vote. How many innocent people do we have in jail that aren't getting a say in laws or people who could help them. Also just because you are a felon doesn't mean you aren't an American citizen.

Answer

Depends on the crime.any type of financial crime or crime against the country- no. If they have paid their time for their actions (except for the ones above) then they have every right to vote
