I'm sorry, no.
While you're in prison, you don't get to vote. You've shown you're incapable of taking society's interests into consideration.
Upon release, like with parole boards, there should be a hearing to determine if they can act in the interest of SOCIETY,

or perhaps there should be a requirement for community support for voting rights to be supported for that individual, who must get n signatures from community members in good standing with the law to regain voting rights.
Community service and giving back after release would be a good step towards enabling that, for those who are truly able to become contributing members of the community should have no significant difficulty getting community support.
Though, TBH, I don't think anyone convicted of predatory or violent behaviour should have the right to vote restored after released from prison.
and anyone convicted of crimes against the democratic process should permanently lose their ability to participate in governance...
no voting, no government employment, lobbying, & it should be against the law for them to interact with any entity that files reports with the FEC.

That's what my gut says, anyway.
