ok, just curious. why do you think prisoners should maintain this right?

i think the reason we don't let them vote is that they are in a situation where others exert control over them. hypothetically a warden could cause all of his prisoners to vote for x candidate in exchange for some privilege. that could totally skew the results.

edit: added 2nd paragraph.
