Parole Board "
Favors Letting
Ex-Cons Vote
" Members of the state board of
parole and- probation Joined
Thursday in unqualified support
of a measure designed to remove
voting prohibition that "stands
as a bar to the complete rehabili
tation of criminal offenders.'
They pointed to a statement Is
sued by Gov. Earl Snell that the
proposal involves "an (important
matter of justice. . . . Favorable
action is important to human
rights and will offer further in
centive to full rehabilitation."
The board action Thursday urg
ed the decisive passage of a pro
posed constitutional amendment
which would permit the legisla
ture to restore the voting privil
eges of persons deemed to have
paid their debt to society after the
conviction of crimes."
Under th estate constitution at
present voting privileges never
can be restored "to persons con
victed of a crime punishable by
imprisonment in the penitentiary.
The, formal .resolution by the
board Of parole and probation in
dicated a belief that rehabilitation
work could be broadened and
made more successful by remov
ing discrimination "between civil
and political rights" with a yes"
