| Message | Prisons have education opportunities. To assume that all prisoner are uneducated is ignorant. And yes some crimes are silly. People do stupid things when they are young. If someone commits a small felony and has to spend 30 days in prison, do we morally have the right to take their ability to vote from them? No! especially not permanently. |
