Well, I’m one...

I don’t believe in punishment after completion of sentences.

For anyone.

Please feel free to start a reply with “but what about”. THe answer will be the same.

Birds of a feather? Maybe they can share a cell. What pathetic criminals.

Under Florida law, incarceration is only part of the sentence for felonies. Permanent loss of the vote (except when reinstated by petition) is also part of the punishment.

As to federal sentences, I don’t know what the rule is but would be interested in finding out.

It is astounding. Far too rare. To be celebrated with... Hats N Horns!

Brown will be serving her five-year sentence at a minimum-security satellite facility, which keeps roughly 391 other female inmates.

I wonder if they have any who "identify" as female but in fact have a d***?

[TangoLimaSierra]

Actor is E. Powers Booth.

I think you are mixing Powers Booth with E Power Biggs.

Orange on the new Black?

[libertylover]

She could potentially apply for early release after 12 months.

Too bad it wasn't a state conviction. Florida requires inmates to serve at least 85% of their sentence.

The dem party is chock full of kooks..just look at a comparison of guest lists for the SOTU..

Some here will advocate for her voting right to be restored after she’s “paid her debt to society.”

I'm sorry, I not only misread your comment but also misspoke.

I'm one of those deplorables who also agrees that once you have paid your debt to society, your voting rights should be restored...........

[bankwalker]

once you have paid your debt to society, your voting rights should be restored..........

as long as the debt was adequate, I agree ....

[Rastus]

You notice how Hatty McDumbHat hasn’t been seen since they tried to make her the face of the anti-Trump resistance? I guess she didn’t test well with the focus groups.

[Hot Tabasco]

as long as the debt was adequate, I agree ....

Who determines what is adequate? The court, you or public opinion?

[Afterguard]

funny, my wife said the same thing!

[ExGeeEye]

Also, everything in the Bill of Rights.

Because those are Rights you have because you are alive.

The only people who have them permanently revoked are the dead.

And I don’t care a whit for the “law” in Florida. If it is as described, it is wrong.

“Where my staff??”

“Where be my staff??”

“Where be my constiturents?”

“My constiturents need me. Where be da House post office?”

[definitelynotaliberal]

No, that’s Federica Wilson. There are so many kooks, my God, *SO* many kooks.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Corrine must be a huge lady to be able to reach around Hillary’s bohunkus!

Birds of a feather? Maybe they can share a cell. What pathetic criminals.

Apparently not members of "The Club." Otherwise they would not have spent a single day in jail.

[clintonh8r]

To some, myself included, the loss of voting rights survives the expiration of the incarceration, and in fact that is the law in Florida. In other words, the permanent loss of the right to vote is part of the so-called “debt to society.”
