Interview with Sasha Abramsky, author of "Conned"

Sasha Abramsky, author of "Conned", tells us about the disenfranchisement of convicted felons. Many people don’t know it, but people convicted of felonies (serious and otherwise) are often prohibited by state law from voting for years, sometimes forever. It seems somewhat counterproductive in today’s society to exclude people that we want to be model citizens from doing the very thing model citizens should do, vote!
