Playing divel's advocate,

Not those in jail

Why not those in jail? What happens if someone for a drug offense (marijuana) is placed in jail, and he wants to vote for a candidate who would make his crime of smoking marijuana nollified?

Because once you have broken the laws that society has passed down, you are no longer part of that society. In order to have a civilization there must be standards. Those in jail have already set themselves apart from the group. The only way they can get back in is by taking their punishment and reforming to the standard.
