Why not poll the inmates?

Seriously! Why doesn’t someone poll the inmates in our prisons? We’ve polled every demographic in America, swing states (daily), foreign countries who like us, foreign countries who hate us. Why not poll a demographic that really matters?
I’m very happy to say that I have no firsthand experience as to how an inmate might feel about this election, but with a Modicum of Common Sense, I think we could draw some conclusions:

1. I think most inmates would favor the repeal of the 2nd amendment. It presents a fundamental threat to their safety on the job. I’m certain that all criminals would sleep easier if no law abiding citizen could defend themselves.

2. I doubt they would favor the legislation that makes murder of pregnant women a double homicide.

3. Do you think criminals would rather “pay their debt to society” or “be rehabilitated and release back into society” regardless of how many tries it takes for the “rehabilitation” to sink in?

4. Would pedophiles rather be rehabilitated (see number three) or be quarantined from society for life?

5. How do drug dealers feel about being held responsible for the deaths they cause?

When you think about it, criminals pioneered the concept of “wealth redistribution”.
But in an act of true bipartisanship, they do firmly support “trickle down economics”.
In fact if Washington takes enough money from the saps who actually work for a living, they might get a new steam bath for the prison spa. SWEET! They might even be able to add teeth whitening to their dental plan. I mean, what’s the point of getting a free sex change operation if your teeth aren’t white, white, white.

I’m challenged to think of a single issue in which the inmates might vote Republican.
Certainly, some “Loon De La Left” will pop up out of their hole and cry “guns kill people”! I wonder, of the crimes committed with guns, what percentage of the guns were legally owned by the person committing the crime?
Let’s take a poll!
