Inmates Voting: The Next Election

INMATES VOTING is based on the life and work of author Charlton Sharpe, particularly his work with his STOP (Straight Talk On Prisons) Program. It’s a fascinating story with a bold message; but one more than achievable if enough citizens can back the campaign to afford nonviolent offenders their constitutional right to vote.

INMATES VOTING was written to raise support for the notion that nonviolent incarcerated offenders in America should be allowed to vote; the realization of one of their basic constitutional rights. Many Americans are also unaware that inmates in other countries including, Austria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland and Ukraine have the right to vote. In America, only inmates in Vermont and Maine have voting rights. Sharpe makes his compelling case in a story wrapped around his own life; a life driven by the rights and humanity of others.
