It's worse than death for you, but you're not a murderer. You make the mistake of assuming you can relate to murderers and career criminals. I doubt that you can, but I could be wrong.... ~SB~

RE: And the type of confinement that should be offered to a murderer is four walls and a toilet. No TV no books, no computer...nothing The ACLU would not stand for that.

"Worse than death"? Myth #2. Why do you think police use the DP chit in hostage negotiations every day? Why do you think they use it in plea bargains? Because it's worse than death? Hahahaha... The anti-DP propagandists really have a noose around you!

Fla. to Restore Felons' Voting Rights Thu Jul 24, 1:29 PM ET Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo! MIAMI - Florida agreed to help restore voting rights to nearly 125,000 convicted felons who didn't get enough advice on how to regain their rights when they walked free, officials said Thursday. The agreement by the Department of Corrections will settle a case brought by civil rights groups. Leon County Circuit Court Judge P. Kevin Davey is expected to sign it by Friday. About 94,000 of the felons will have to apply for a clemency hearing before the governor and Cabinet, but the rest can skip the hearing and will likely be able to vote within a year, said Randy Berg, lawyer for the Florida Justice Institute, one of the groups bringing the suit. Florida is one of eight states that deny ex-felons the right to vote unless they take steps to have their civil rights restored by the state. The Department of Corrections had acknowledged that offenders released between 1992 and 2001 did not get proper help on having their rights restored. The system drew international attention during the bitter dispute over the 2000 presidential election, when some Florida voters claimed they weren't allowed to cast ballots because they were mistaken for convicted felons.
