Votes for prisoners

Cards (2)

  • Prisoners should vote
    Voting is a human right and it should not be taken away
    Not many people get life sentences so they will be affected by decisions made but even in prison they are most affected by the system so they should at least get a say in it
    They are a part of society and removing the right to vote alienates them
  • Prisoners shouldn't vote
    They proved that they are not responsible enough to make decisions and they may have bad morals which shouldn't be inflicted upon the whole country
    There should be a case by case system
    Removing the right to vote is part of their punishment - they can't be trusted to take part in making decisions that will affect the whole country
