See, my point is if they in was prison most of their life they don't know what's going on in the everyday realm. I'm for them voting, but they have to earn that. For me, it's not easy just voting for someone. I have to research the candidate and etc.
This completely contradicts your OP.
On one hand you make it seem like a person being a felon means they should lose their right to vote by nature of being a felon.
On the other hand you say your point is in prison they don't what's going on in "the everyday realm".
There's a few things wrong with that when trying to remove felons based off your prerequisites.
1. There is an overwhelming amount of people that have never been to jail that have no idea "what's going on in the everyday realm".
2. In prison you aren't cut off from the world entirely. You still get news, sports, etc. If anything, being cut off physical from the "everyday realm" forces you to seek out more information about the world than you normally would because you're looking for a way to still be connected to the outside.
3. There is no realistic way we are going to make sure only informed voters vote.
4. A person that serves their time should be able to go back and be a productive member of society, with certain exceptions made for certain crimes, such as rape or child molestation, etc.
