Prisoners should get vote says human rights chief Baroness O'Neill
Prisoners should be given the right to vote in an attempt to help them reintegrate into society, the newly appointed chair of the human rights watchdog has said.
Baroness O'Neill of Bengarve indicated she supported a ruling from the European Court of Human Rights under which more than 22,000 prisoners would be allowed to vote, including some violent and sexual offenders.
