    neither the republican or establishment democrats are interested in that

        oh really? NYS is a blue state no? One of the bluest, as I have been told. Should have some decent legislation surrounding incarceration, right? You ever hear of securis? Do you know how much it costs to talk to an incarcerated individual over the phone and how much that company makes in profit price gouging incarcerated folks families?

        Democrats allow this to happen.

        In new york, they were making hand sanitizer for COVID with prison labor. Yea, big blue New York uses prison labor. Very left of them. I’m sure the democrats are really interested in rights for convicts.

          So, because New York state uses prison labor, that means Republicans haven’t been drastically more active in removing access to voting? That really the best you can do? No shit Democrats suck, hot take dude, they’re still not as rabidly opposed to enfranchisement as Republicans.
