To the existence of larrikin gangs emerging in the late twentieth century such as the Rocks Push to outlawed motorcycle gangs of…

not have voting privileges. This is unjust. These citizens should have a say in their community and the laws they live under. Many believe that ex-convicts are not trustworthy enough to be given the right to right; this very notion is preposterous; they have been given second chance at life for this reason (Chapman 2006).

This being said, even the convicts who have never committed an act of danger are being prejudiced against on many levels because of that natural human reaction.

This was the world Francis Lloyd and his new found convict mates now found themselves confronting. In this world the only certainty was shouted abuse from mocking warders. They were now mere rolling stones. 9 ‘The Day You Went Away’ by Wendy Matthews. This is the ultimate lament about lost love.…
