Whats it to be.

Yes , That is the question , Whats it to be ?

There is currently a debate going on in the house of Lords I think it is about the right to vote , Not just any old right to vote but the right of weather or not prisoners should have the right to vote.

Obviuosly there are two think tanks and one says yes whilst the other says no.

Already when somebody goes to prison , the people there almost get treated like hotel guests , lets look at what happens , welll they get accomadation and do not have to pay council tax , they get meals given to them , im not sure of the quality but they are free and anyway these people have commited crimes so the meals should not be gourmet and should be basic.
Then you hear about the ones who play games on things like playstations and other such things that have all appeared in the papers , they have gyms so that they can work out to pass the time which most people would have to pay for - so they are already saving a whole heap of money.
And i have been led to believe that at times they also have to work as well.

So the question is why shouldn't they be allowed to vote ?
The reason is cus they have commited a crime and been found guilty by a jury of their peers , when they did this , they waved goodbye to any rights they had by commiting this crime or crimes.
95% of the time a person who commits a crime goes out with the intention to commit a crime and thus if they are caught , they are only getting what is due to them.
People who commit crimes and are found guilty are put in prison becuase they have been naughty , its a bit like primary school and being told to stand in the corner away from everybody else becuase they have been naughty , this is what prisons are used for and criminals are sent there becuase of the crimes which they have commited and it is societys way of showing them that they are wrong.
In olden days prisoners had to break rocks and in America they had work gangs where they where all chained together and had to wear jumpsuits all of the same colour , In those days people knew that they had broken the law and knew what was coming.

Once people step inside those prison gates people should be treated like criminals and they should know about it , some people may say that this is a bit harsh , but these people have gone out to commit a crime , there maybe some exceptions but these exceptions would have to be done on a case by case basis.
The right to vote is a privaledge and you should lose that right becuase you have done something wrong , people might ask what about if you have been done for shoplifting , well if youhave shoplifted , it is still a crime and if you are locked up for shoplifting , then it would not be your first time which you have been caught and by commiting these crimes you have tried to rob someone of something that they posisbly have worked hard for.

By being put in Prison as a convicted criminal you should not only lose the right to vote , but the right to a comfortable life , prisons should be uncomfortable so that the people inside know why they are there , they should be made to work for any priviledges that they recieve and they should be limited.
I will leave you to think about what kind of life they would leave and the rights and wrongs about this but remember the bonuses which are stated above like free lodgings and food , so the negatives equall the bonuses and everybody should be happy.
Except of course those who stand and demand that they have equal rights - but i say to them why should somebody have any rights if they have murdered , raped or sexually abused anyone.
The person that they have murdered no longer has any rights and their family and friends have lost someone and a person who has been raped will proberly have that ingrained in their thoughts for a very long time , if not forever and what happened to their rights when you forced your self on that person , And as for the person who was sexually abused , if you sexually abused someone then you have no rights as you not only abused a human but you abused that persons trust.
