    Jail/Prison Question

    If a non-felon offender happens to be incarcerated on an election day are they allowed to vote?

    I doubt that any detention facility would let someone out, convicted or not, to vote. Undue hardship on staff who are tasked with protecting the many; not seeing one gets their vote.
    This career is not a sprint, it is a marathon.

    Not here. That's one of those little inconveniences people have to tolerate. Well, that and rooming with Bruno the child molester, the wonderful food and otherwise great companionship. Seriously, I suspect most people in jail have a lot more on their mind than voting. Civic mindedness is not a trait I saw in most people I busted.
    Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine
