Florida is only 1 of 4 states that still won't restore voting rights after a ex-felon has served thier time and has to wait years and appeal to a clemency board to restore that right.
Isn't there a clause in the Constitution about "Cruel and Unusual Punishment"?
Somehow this is relatable.

How else can you then participate in getting the law that placed you in jail, removed if it is a bad law.

There was a reason murderers and thieves were hung by the neck.
Good points.
