I’m a Probation and Parole Officer of 36 years. I can assure you that criminals have political views just like we do. Many of them are just as conservative as us.

I really think that is they have paid their debt to society, they should have their rights reinstated. It’s wrong to stigmatize a person for life over an incident. If they commit more crimes, they will get more incarceration and P&P time and not be able to vote.

I would exclude sex offenders from that.

after contending with my predecessor’s efforts to deny Virginians their fundamental rights — we have restored the rights of more than 66,000 Virginians who have served their time.

Glenn Youngkin, previously rolled back a policy of automatically restoring felons’ rights and chose to evaluate applications on a case-by-case basis.


Well this was fricking dumb too just in a different way

It is only fair given that DJT still gets to.

Their rights to serve on a jury, run for public office, and become a notary public were also restored under Spanberger’s direction.


It is my understanding that if all other rights are restored, gun rights are automatically restored as well.

Not necessarily true. And, felons should have their voting rights restored.

If you are a felon who are you voting for? Probably the party who believes in no consequences for your crimes. If so those are Democrats.
