If the reason is because of abusing community, then why stop at jail - what about the business owners that get fined for illegal activity against their workers and the public (which rarely results in jail time)? The impact of someone like Galen Weston price fixing pantry staples for years has an outsized negative effect on the community, is highly illegal, but is simply dismissed by a fine. Perhaps those who receive fines should not have voting power either for the abuse they've caused their community.
