Florida To Restore Felon Voting Rights

Florida To Restore Felon Voting Rights Over the strong objections of one Republican, Florida's clemency board has worked out a deal with Gov. Charlie Crist to allow most felons released from prison to have their voting and other civil rights restored. The thing is, the WHOLE POINT of the prison system, the criminal system, all of it, is that the person does the crime and then does the time (or whatever). After that, society should not brand him in any way (I'll acknowledge a grey area for sexual predators, etc.). If I go to prison, serve my time, and then continue to be punished, what incentive do I have to follow the rules at all? Tags:Civil Rights
