Welcome to the DefundDOC Podcast, where we delve into the critical issues surrounding voting rights and criminal justice reform. Join Linda and Daniel, as we explore the history and current state of felon disenfranchisement in America, inspired by legal texts, historical documents, and contemporary analyses.

In our discussions, we question the "obvious" exclusion of certain groups, such as women, people with mental disabilities, and former slaves, from the right to vote. We examine the discriminatory practices that have disenfranchised felons and prisoners, perpetuating inequality and prejudice.

We uncover the origins of felon disenfranchisement as a tool to prevent African-Americans from voting, and the need for legislative action to address the racial discrimination inherent in this practice. We challenge the notion that past mistakes define a person's character or virtue, advocating for the restoration of voting rights as a means to break down injustice in the criminal justice system.

By highlighting the importance of voting rights, we expose the inequities and over-sentencing within the system, and the need for felons and prisoners to have a voice in shaping policies that affect them. We argue that the denial of voting rights violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution and perpetuates a corrupt and discriminatory system.

Join us as we uncover the injustices of the past and present, and explore the ways in which restoring the right to vote for felons and prisoners can lead to meaningful criminal justice reform.
