Many non-violent offenders are caught in the web and are then basically serving a life sentence. Where is the sense of compassion in our leaders? This is so obviously voter suppression by the Republican majority. They think that everyone who once made a mistake will vote against them.

If they get 30 years, and serve 10, restore their rights in 30. I think their rights should be restored after the original sentence time elapses.
