No as that means you're basically giving them the same human rights as everybody else, if they want to vote then they shouldn't do the crime.

Also we have had miscarriages of justice too where people have spent years in prison but then were later cleared of the crimes, by the same token, they should never have had those privileges taken away from the anyway.

I think if the MPs when they vote are given the choice of giving the vote to people serving up to 6 months or up to 4 years or not at all. I think they should vote for not at all as I feel any votes given should be determined by the crimes they are in there not the length of time.

They will eventually have to give some prisoners votes back,It has been decided the UKs stance on this is against the Human rights of people and so some compromise even on the smallest scale will have to be done sometime in the near future.
