No, for no other reason than the fact beiing in prison is the removal of your freedom,your free will loss is part of the punishment, so no, once the time is done and they rejoin society,then fine, those rights are restored.

The Human rights act is very flawed,the worst thing would be if this Govt failed to exclude murderers, paedophiles and sex crime offenders from being given the right to vote.

Its clear from the EU ruling that some prisoners now will have to have their voting rights restored, I would still say no to it though.

It cannot be right to say some people have to be removed from society but then have them have a say on who makes the laws in that society.
