In a democracy, I don’t see how their vote really matters less. Plus it’ll help improve prisons perhaps.

    There would have to be a ton of work involved to prevent the prisons (being private entities) from attempting to control\influence the votes.

      I’m not sure I follow. The way I read this was “we should remove constitutional rights from certain people because of the outsized influence certain companies might have on them.” Was that the correct way to read this comment? If so, do you also advocate for the abolition of social media, print journalism, radio, any kind of advertisement, any gathering, and television?

        Interesting strawman you have there.

        My point is simply that privacy is not easy to come by in a prison and steps must be taken to ensure votes are truly private and prevent coercion of the prisoners.

          Then the way I read that was wrong, which is why I asked. Interesting way to straw man my honest question!

      The vast majority of prisons are not private

      It’s not much more than for regular people to vote. Electoral commission goes to the prison and they vote one by one.
