On the other hand, any country that allows its prisoners to vote has a constituency that wants to decriminalize what ever it was that they did.

What's wrong with that?

Millions have been arrested and convicted over absurd "crimes" without a single victim to be found. Of course they want it to be decriminalized, as does their family, friends, and many fellow citizens. As it should be.

It depends on what they did. Maybe they want to make insulting the king legal, that might be a good thing. Maybe they want to make sex with children legal...

Maybe. But are there enough people like that to make the “having sex with children party” win the elections? If there are, I’d say we have a bigger issue, and it’s not because of people in prison.
