what are the rights and privleges for mississippi inmates?

Everything depends on how serious the crime is and where the person is incarcerated.\n\nObviously, murderers don't have the same privleges as check forgers, but they have the same rights.

Citizens of at least the age of 18 may vote.\nVoting rights are enforced by the states.  In different places released convicts may be excluded from voting, be allowed to vote, or only be allowed after applying for restoration of voting privileges to the state.  T

Commissary is a privilege not a right, so yes they can hold his commissary. As for mail, in accordance with inmates rights, he has the right to correspond and the right to receive mail. Unless the mail was a security threat, the count jail is in violation of his rights. The prescription eye glasses are questionable. If they consist of metal frames that can be fabricated into anything other than their use such as a pick then yes they can hold them as well. My advise is to submit a medical slip requesting an eye exam then they will have to provide state prescription glasses.

I am not familiar with Ohio law, but he should have ONLY these rights:\n\nThe right to a fair trial and answer to society about his activities.\nIf he is guilty, he should have the right to sit in prison for his ENTIRE sentence.\nAfter he serves his time, he should have the right to be forced to contribute to the education of our country's youth about the dangers of drugs.\n\nSorry to ramble on, but the fact that we as a country, tolerate drugs by handing down weak sentences for "first time offenses" only makes the problem worse.  If we would punish them severely, others might think twice.\n\nI know you may not like what I am saying, but that is only because you are the one who has been caught or are connected to that person.  If you were not connected to drugs in any way and had your home broken into by drug addicts so they could obtain the means for another fix, you might see it my way.\n\nUntil then, JUST SAY NO!

Mira mami, you can log onto the prison system, whether it's state, Federal or local and view their policies on the sharing of that information. They can sometimes allow you to request this and may actually make a personal appeal to your pops for his OK.

incarceration, probation or dismissal with conditions.  Just remember that juveniles have no legal rights, other than shelter, food and clothing.

There are 14 states that do not automatically restore voting rights to felons after they complete their sentences. Those states are Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington and Wyoming. \n\nThere is a long and tedious paperwork process in the aforementioned states. The rest automatically restore voting rights.

This is for Mississippi, but I assume it is close to what the law is around you.

The right to eat, sleep, and not be beat up.  Visitors, unless from a lawyer, is probably an earned privilege.

This right is protected by the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. \n\n"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

More in depth info about the people, or more about the process? The process varies from state to state. Most restore the right to vote upon release from prison or parole/probation if part of the sentence. The first site below is an organization working to restore voting rights in all states. The second is a PDF with an excellent summary of the disenfranchisement laws in the various states.

Yes. Especially the "rights" of the offender. It is disgusting too. The 13th Amendment states when an individual is convited of a crime, he/she then becomes a slave of the state in which they were convicted. If that is so, why do offenders have so may rights? Dont beleive me? Take a look at it yourself. \nIt's pitiful when an offender can sue because he received chunky peanut butter instead of creamy during his meal. How much money do you think that wasted us taxpayers?\nWhere else can you get 3 squares, a roof over your head, free education, free dental, free medical ... oh, my bad, it now cost them $3.00 per visit in most cases. And, in alot of states, they are paying offenders to work in the industries. No wonder there's such a high return rate.
