I am just making the point that it has been pretty much proven that allowing voting serves a purpose towards reintegrating some convincts, and is no punishment towards the recidivists. With that fact in mind, it is easier to reject a denying of that fondamental right

amazing that you spelled recidivists correctly and not fundamental

I totally agree with allowing convicts the vote in terms of reintegrating them back into society, unless if they are serving life, however.

sorry, french is my first language. i usually do good in english, but sometimes a mistake does slip by.

Well, opinion still.

Somehow I doubt that letting prisoners vote would be all that big of a rehabilitation factor.

And I still think they shouldn't have that right, if you don't have the right to be around the rest of society why should you be allowed to influence it in any way? That's why you're in there in the first place.
