Two things about that:
1) I'm not convinced prisoners would vote for their best interests. Americans, especially uneducated poor ones, have a painfully poor track record in that regard.
2) In patting ourselves on the back about how racist we're not (by letting a guy stuck in jail for life vote, say), we forget to actually solve the real problems-- financial poverty, rampant drug use, broken families, etc.
What's the point of giving a guy a choice between two parties who will NOT help his children or their now-single mom?
