Prisoners still retain most of their rights.  We can't torture them, or use them as slaves.  They are still entitled to due process.  We can't seize their personal property just because they are felons.  So I have no idea why they should not be allowed to vote.  They are still citizens that are effected by laws.  So they are still entitled to representation through voting.

I believe technically we can use them as slaves.  Unless something has been worked out since the 13th amendment.  
Yes they retain some rights, but some are removed. This is one that's removed. We also don't let them own guns.
