With the November election almost upon us, it is more important than ever for people to know how vital it is to vote. This is especially true for people who had justice involvement. Yet it has been common practice in this country to make tens of thousands of people convicted of felonies to be ineligible to vote, in some cases permanently. Over the last few decades, the general trend has been toward reinstating the right to vote at some point, although this is a state-by-state policy choice.
On this episode, host Andre Ward talk with Tyrell Muhammad of the Correctional Association of New York who will discuss a new bill that will allow that organization to have full access to facilities without warning. Also, Dante A. Apaestegui of the Legal Action Center. Andre speaks with the experts about the rights people with justice involvement have to vote and how they can actually vote.
