Topic: Prisoners voting right
...
The vote of each and every citizen is a badge of dignity and personhood
...
Vote is the activity of choosing something or
someone in an election
...
Prisoners who are convicted of some crimes also deserve the right to vote as they are also
part of democratic process
...
Some people think that
prisoners should not be allowed to vote because they are criminal minded and they would elect
the persons like them
...
They ask
this question that if everyone counts in democracy then why prisoners keep away from voting
...
Major and minor criminals could not be treated in the same way
...
This argument fails to take into accounts as
the majority of prisoners caught because of minor crimes or crimes which are not as such crimes
but are prohibited by law
...
For example, a pickpocket cannot be given a treatment as a serial killer
...
It would encourage them and they might become a good citizen
...
The people who are against prisoners voting right state that
those who break laws are untrustworthy and therefore not suitable to determine the laws that
govern the society
...
”(Roger Clegg)
...
This argument could be decline by the fact that
we cannot establish a character test before voting
...
Moreover the rivals state that a person who is convicted of crime is not able to
choose a right person because he or she is politically immature
...
The solution is that prisoners should be politically qualified in the prisons so that they
might be able to choose the better leader
...
Voting is the democratic right of prisoners
...
Every person has freedom of choice
...
Prisoners are also
counted as citizens of the state according to this they also have right to vote
...
Then, why a person who commits a crime
and release after punishment is allowed to elect leaders for our future
...
If it is the basic principle of democracy that
everyone has right to vote then why in a democratic country prisoners are not allowed to vote?
Summarizing the whole talk, I think prisoners should be given the right to vote
...
The prisoners should be
placed into two categories, one who convicted major crimes and others with minor crimes
...
Secondly, all the prisoners are not criminals few prisoners are blameless but
waiting for the decision of court
...
” The right to vote is a right that according to law is entitled to every adult
...
All in
all, Prisoners should be given a second chance to reform themselves
...
They might become good citizens
