They're in prison for a reason- because their judgment isn't right

They willingly sacrifice that right when they commit a crime.

I wanna say they lose their citizenship but that's not the right word. Rights? I think. But those 2 comments above me are both right.

Legislative bodies exist to reflect the values of a society in the law. At what point do prisoners stop being a part of society?

They lose their right to vote once they break the law. We aren't "entitled" to have rights, we are given them. If you break them, you lose them.

I wish they lost more than their right to vote. They also get health care, dental care, fresh food, etc. Some guy on death row got hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical treatment because he had cancer.
