To suggest that not allowing felons to vote contributes to high prison population is, well, kinda nutty.

Careful SB, the ability to vote is the tip of the iceberg with F.D., if you hinder someones ability to make a living, what kinda sense does that make?

Making money off of contracts, cheap labor etc... That you could pass onto tax payers seems to have become the norm here.
