I think most everyone deserves a second chance. People make mistakes, especially in their younger life. America is all about second chances.
I would not assume all of them are going to vote Democratic.
People can straighten themselves out, but they don't need to have the right to vote.
Next you'll be telling us that people shouldn't be put in jail for their first felony offense, give them another chance...
I have 2 cousins who have both been in prison many times, mostly for drugs, alcohol and repeat parole violations and I definately wouldn't want these guys voting, even for dog catcher.
They're both irresponsible, immature lunatics.
Both big "liberals" and Democrats of course.
Wonder how Charlie Starkweather voted ?
I question how many of them have or will ever vote.
