Restoring the vote can help change a person’s internal message from “I will always be an outsider” to “I have a voice, a stake, and a future in this community.”

Restoring voting rights can help someone who has been incarcerated feel that they belong again—that their voice matters and their past does not permanently define them.

The potential mental health benefits include:

* Dignity: Being recognized as a participating citizen can counter feelings of shame and exclusion.
* A sense of control: Voting offers a concrete way to influence decisions after years of having little control over daily life.
* Belonging: Participating alongside neighbors and family can strengthen connection to the community.
* Hope and identity: Becoming a voter can reinforce a forward-looking identity as a parent, neighbor, and contributor.

Research provides support for part of this picture: a study of formerly disenfranchised people found that restoring voting rights increased confidence in participating in politics and belief that their participation could make a difference. Those are meaningful forms of empowerment.

💚 Special Sponsor Thank-You: Jessica Sprague and OOPS! Laser 💚
Second Chance Tucson extends a very special thank-you to Jessica Sprague of Tattoo Removal, a generous sponsor of our 2026 Reentry Job & Resource Fair—and someone whose commitment to reentry extends far beyond sponsoring an event.
In this short video, Jessica shares why reentry collaboration matters and how bringing organizations, resources, and caring community members together helps people move forward and reduces the likelihood of returning to incarceration.

✨Jessica represents the kind of community partner we are especially grateful for: someone who contributes her professional skills, compassion, and time to provide direct, meaningful support.🤍Thank you, Jessica, for investing in people, believing in second chances, and helping our community create real pathways forward. We are honored to recognize you and the incredible work of OOPS! Laser. 🫶💚
