Title: prisoners getting the vote Post by: juddie on Tuesday, November 2, 2010, 16:26:38 what are your thoughts on this?
I heard some dude on the radio who'd murdered his landlady and served 30 years, it was on 5live this morning. He was arguing (very badly) that all lags should have the same civil liberties as the rest of us, so the vote, internet in their cells etc. Can't say it sat well with me, to be honest!

Title: Re: prisoners getting the vote Post by: chalkies_shorts on Tuesday, November 2, 2010, 16:39:03 Its their human rights innit despite the fact they couldn't give a fuck about the human rights of those they robbed, hurt, killed, raped etc.
I don't think they should have the vote. I don't think they should have parole - they should have time added to their sentences if they misbehave. If they trash the joint they should be forced to rebuild ( while they live in the shithole they've created ) what they've done and again have time added on. Basically, to get to jail now you've got to be complete cunt so fuck em. They should have the same rights they've given others - fuck all. In fact, for killers I'd use them for drug experiments or to be live donors to partly repay the lives they've taken.

That includes loss of liberty either fully (imprisonment) or partial (tagging/community service) and losing the vote, among other stuff. If you can't do the time ....

Title: Re: prisoners getting the vote Post by: Cookie on Tuesday, November 2, 2010, 18:44:16 At least it might improve the turnout. Do their votes stand for the constituency the prison is in? It's not all prisoners either if I understand it correctly.
fwiw I don't think they should get a vote. |
