Absolutely not. When you commit a crime and are sentenced to jail you lose all right to have a say in our government.
@52855FW4yrs4Y
no-we do not want felons deciding how our country should be run-if they wanted rights they would not have tried to take rights away from others
@B4RLK2W4 days4D
maximum security prisoners should lose that right but minimum security prisoners who committed a petty crime should still have the opportunity
@9D4R2DY2yrs2Y
Yes, except for felons convicted of violent; financial; and/or sexual crimes
