Balls
Imprisonment is supposed to be a form of punishment. Losing your right to vote is one of the side effects.

Punishment is obviously an important part of it.
But it is pointless if you don't attempt to reform these people.

Here's an idea
Why don't we get rids of prisons altogether? We can just give all the naughty people a slap on the wrist and tell them not to do it again.

All the money saved can be spent on cake and kittums.

Who's with me?

This is pretty much equivalent to allowing prisoners a right to vote, yes.

I'm delighted you've seen sense.

Cake yes, kittums no
We'd be overrun with the buggers.
