"Voting Behind Bars" gives insight about people who are out of the mainstream...young people in jail.
While they are *allowed to vote, we find out why some see it as a moot point (I'm in jail, why should I care?) and others still feel connected to the outside world.
Having a young person asking the questions also
helps with the flow of the piece and probably made it easier for the young people to respond.
While this piece is pegged to last November's election, it still has value and is a good idea for other reporters to pursue.
