Since the 1990s, the Prison Reform Trust has worked with allied agencies, and former and serving prisoners to ensure that people in prison are treated as such – as people – and this includes acknowledging their right to vote. The UK can take pride in a prison service that requires everyone in prison to be treated with decency and respect, regardless of the crime they have committed or the length of their sentence. Denying prisoners the right to vote has no place in a civilised justice system.
