Prisoners are more likely than the elderly to riot if their food is bad.

Elderly are one of the most reliable voting blocs, whereas I’d argue most folks looking at long federal sentences are likely already convicted of at least one felony charge, thus stripping them of their rights to vote in nearly all states, at least while incarcerated.

If war is politics by other means, I suppose a prison riot is democracy by other means.
