Citizen Journalism: Voters’ Rights Seized due to Incarceration
Produced by Jori Lewis
Once behind bars, most prisoners lose the right to vote and even after they are released they don’t recover this right. Within the field of voting rights many ask, "how do we deal with the increasing number of Americans who go away to prison and don't come back with the same rights and opportunities?" Jori Lewis reports for PBS, the Online Newshour.
