No, if they can not function in society or their freedom is being taken away due to crimes, then they should not be allowed to vote while they are in prison.

No, to vote it is a responsibility as your duty as an american citizen. If someone were to brake a law as an american they should not be able to get the same rights as everyone else who follows the laws.

Very few people would be able to vote then. I don't know anyone who hasn't broken a law now and then. Ever speed? or jaywalk? These are against the law and yet everyone does one or both at least once in their life.

Prisoner's shouldn't be able to vote because themselves are bad to society, that is why they are in jail in the first place. A vote is a whole bunch of people voting for the good of society. Since he didn't contribute to society as a good citizen should, they should not be able to vote.
