01. They don't pay taxes.
02. They don't support or become part of the Government at any level.
03. Inmates are put in secure locations to keep them "out of society" so why should they be allowed to vote?
04. Inmates do not join the Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, or Coast Guard.
05. They cost taxpayers hundreds of millions if not billions each year in upkeep.

Your hatred of the ANC is clouding your mind. The truth is that nowhere did the ANC want votes from prisoners. The ANC could have used that vote in the first elections because there were still political priosners in prisons in 1994. Personally, I won't support such a move. The good thing is that the ANC is not even considering such a thing. While to vote for a government of your choice is a Constitutional right - that right is limited to one being a citizen in good standing. They lost their good standing when they were convicted. They must serve their time and hope to vote when they are out of jail. The other thing is that if they have the right to vote, they must have the right to be voted into office therefore the righ to register a political party. You cannot give them choices inferior to the other voters. Think of a poltical party with its head office in Leeuwkop Prison. Hehehehehe!!!!!!!

Prison inmates should not be allowed to vote because when they chose to break the law they chose not to be fuctioning members of society.
