Eliza appears above to argue that prisoners should be permitted to vote because so many can't help being prisoners as they have mental problems.

LEST SHE SHOULD CONTRADICT MY GLOSS ON HER ARGUMENT, HERE IS A QUOTATION FROM HER LAST POST~~~

"Who is to select what a prisoner should undergo as part of the sentence? And what are the reasons for these deprivations? What in short is the AIM of prison and the penal system? Believe me, people offend for a great many reasons, some of which are pitiable and unavoidable, given their circumstances. Also, a large percentage of inmates have mental health issues. I have seen prisoners in Parkhurst, for example, in a dire state of mental illness."

I fear the logic of this position escapes me.
