Argument: Voting offers prisoners a sense of citizenship, reintegration

Issue Report: Prisoners right to vote

Support

Prison Reform Trust director Juliet Lyon – “If we are interested in involving people and asserting their role and responsibility as citizens, surely they should have the vote while in prison. I think it is in our interests as a society to have those people coming out with a sense of responsibility, feeling less excluded than they were when they went in.”[1]
