Yes but what if there wrongfully convicted

Furthermore, disenfranchising convicted felons allows states to charge people with felonies to prevent them from voting. One of the big reasons there’s such a large black population in prisons is because white racists discovered they can just charge black people with felonies and remove their right to vote

Many states had felony disenfranchisement before the civil war, but others adopted them after, and expanded the range of felony crimes. The modern prison-industrial complex was engineered largely to marginalize black people

This is an insane claim that is entirely unsupported by evidence

I think the reason we can’t have nice things is because of blatant, rampant corruption in our government but the the guy arrested for smoking a joint an Idaho might have something to do with it too

Woah hey there, I never said the government wasn’t stealing our money. They are incredibly corrupt. And my comment isn’t about Larry and his joint. It’s about Martha who’s been arrested for DWI for 4 times and will kill someone on her 5th. It’s about Jason who’s been arrested for assault and robbery 3 times and will stab someone to death next Sunday for their phone. People like that. People that have been arrested over and over again.

The problem in our society is that these people are caught, given a slap on the rest (2-3 years sometimes, mainly just plea deals and probation), and then let out again to terrorize the rest of us.

The bottom 2% of our society, the ones who just decide that their contribution is to deal drugs, to steal, to hurt people. And do it over and over and over again. It’s always them. I’m not talking about having an oops when you’re 17 and swipe something from the gas station. I’m not talking about Jill on her way to work running a red light.

They need to just get put away. If you’ve been convicted of something for a third time or have a criminal record that shows repeated willing disregard for the law, in my opinion, that should be it, put them in the box and through away the key, they won’t learn and society doesn’t want or need them.

Then they probably care more about wrongfully being sentenced to years in jail than they do about wrongfully losing the ability to vote lmao. But the possibility of a wrongful conviction doesn’t stop us from putting convicted criminals in jail because that would make no sense
