Prisoners don’t lose all rights or we would execute them without trial for breaking the law. Disallowing prisoners the ability to vote is disproportionate and arbitrary because it only affects prisoners in prison during an election year. There is no evidence that it leads subverting the national interest by allowing them to vote, whereas, there is evidence to suggest that it is an obstacle to rehabilitation.

In fact, the Public of Ireland and Law Reform trust claim social exclusion contributes to reoffending.

Here are four cases where the Government lost and were told that not allowing prisoners to vote is a breach of human rights:

Hirst v UK human rights
Greens and MT v UK
Firth and others v UK
McHigh and others v UK

As a culture, we place so much emphasis on the importance of thinking for yourself & your right to your own opinions; too little on informing yourself & your duty to assess facts. Hence Kanye. Hence Trump. Hence Brexit. Hence millions of proud doinks on the internet.

What does doinks mean? I've never heard that before She reminds me of the type of person Burrunjor would obsessively follow and use as evidence on this forum as to why he hates SJWs and extreme third wave feminism.

Should really depend on the crime. For example, if it was for vote rigging then certainly not.

Violence at Feltham prison drops after sweet rewards

Levels of violence at a young offenders institution dropped after teenagers were given sweets for good behaviour, inspectors found.

Inmates at YOI Feltham, in west London, can select confectionery items from a "merit shop", inspectors found.

They said the new "behaviour management philosophy", focusing on incentives rather than punishment, had helped to reduce violence.

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said the results were "encouraging".

A report by the prison inspectorate said boys who behave well are given "immediate rewards" under the new regime, and were also allowed to eat some meals together.

Previously they ate alone in their cells.

Commenting on the recent findings, Peter Clarke, HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, said: "Last year we reported how the focus had been on sanctions and regime restrictions, there was a cycle of violence and punitive responses, with no obvious strategy in place to break it.

"This had changed, and we found a new focus on rewards and incentives for good behaviour."
