Topic: Letter of The Law / Should ex-offenders be allowed to vote?

Thanks Commander!! I understand where you come from and I agree in some aspects. When I was sitting in prison I looked aroundevery day and said to myself wow what kind of dirty nasty people are here. Unfortunately I have to be labeled as
Those people, but inside I know what I am who I am and what I am about. Thank God I got my act together early in life and I will not be a statistic that will be going through the revolving doors. I personally seen guys being release, not a month passed by and they are back on a violation. It was very hard for me to find friends behind the wall. What everybody was talking about is how they committed crimes or what Crime they will commit when they get out. Going through the system I only met a handful of decent guy that we’re there for stupidity

Broken system you hit it right on the money. The prison system is full of petty crime criminals! Most are in there for some type of drug conviction. I have known many people that turned their lives 360 after drugs. Now they run legitimate businesses, have families, kids, and pay taxes. So why should they be banned from voting? This is an issue that should be looked into. I myself am a perfect example. I used to live on the streets being a drug addict. I went to prison for five years and did my time. For the past seven years I have been clean and for the past five years I own my own business. I also recently opened up a fire restoration service. I help families that had their house burned down. So it doesn’t mean that if you were a drug addict you are a drug addict for life. People change. Thank you guys.

Thanks Mick!!

When it comes to voting you think a “Gang Banger” will even think of registering to vote? NO I don’t think so . First thing on there mind is where can i steal some $ so i could buy drugs and resell them. They don’t care about our community! They sell crack and heroin to there mothers and sister. VOTE? for them? hahaha they don’t even know the definition. Its Ok i get of parole in 5 years and i will get my right back and i will use them.

Ok Its me again! Hello and good afternoon. I guess I am the only ex-convivt in this room. You Know what its ok today.heres a little story on me.————————-

I went to prison from stupidity!! I got charged with Burglary2 in New York State. What did i do? i was in a basment of a big building and stole a bike so i could sell it and get high. Was i right ? NO i know that but why get treated like a bad criminal? I did not kill no one i did not shoot no one and i did not Rape no one . But hay if not prison i would still be a junkie today most probabley if i was still alive.

just had to throw all that in..

Why did i speak bad on the CO’s.??? ok why whould a CO say “hay FAGOT i’m speaking to you” of when its count time and your sleeping you dont have to kick the bed and yell at the top of your lungs to scare a person. its just these things they do and get away with everyday. Now i meet some Good CO’s. I was a porter in my housing unit and our steady’d were great. so not all the CO’s but a lot of them are like that.
