"Hey you know that guy that committed a crime and has been locked up for 7+ years? Let's make it impossible for him to find a respectable job and remove him from the voting pool. I'm sure that will greatly help in stopping him from committing crimes again."
I actually don't give a shit about the voting rights being taken but having it on your record for life is fucked up. 4-5 years ok but for life?
