    I mean, there is the right to bear arms, people in jail and felons don’t have that right. Felons can’t even vote.

      Human rights are bigger than just the United States. What happens there is a pretty atrocious infringement on the rights of inmates. It’s not surprising though, considering the US prison system is essentially just modern slavery and that there are corporations who have a vested interest in dehumanizing the inmates so they can exploit them as slave labor without anyone objecting.

        Article 20 Right of Peaceful Assembly and Association

        People in jail can’t do that.

        Article 13 Right to Free Movement in and out of the Country

        They can’t do that either.

        Article 14 Right to Asylum in other Countries from Persecution

        I mean, how do you define persecution? Because we help find people sometimes, which seems like the opposite.
