    When one thinks too hard about it, the whole “we can’t trust prisoners to vote, they’ll vote to legalize crime!” argument is pretty ridiculous too. Criminals don’t just universally love crime, like a guy in for having weed isn’t likely to want to legalize murder or something, he doesn’t want to be murdered or see people murdered any more than anyone else, and anyone actually crazy enough to want to legalize that is going to be an irrelevant minority of the vote anyway (prisoners in general will be a minority, unless most of your population is locked up, in which case you either actually do have way too many crimes that shouldn’t be illegal, or your society is so terminally dysfunctional that it’s laws won’t much matter anyway).

      Oops, it looks like you tried having a deep thought, unfortunately thoughts deeper than surface level are dangerous to Conservative minds as they are prone to drowning, and have been subsequently banned.
