I agree with the sentiment, but were prisoners able to vote, prisons would get gerrymandered to hell and back. That said, they should still be able to.

I think you're touching the heart of the problem: the US election system.

Yeah that just means that gerrymandering is the problem.

In Sweden, prisoners keep their home address and vote in their home district.

To be fair, Sweden's prison system is more progressive than the non-imprisoned experience in some countries.
