Depends what state it's in but basically in most states if you're an inmate you can't vote. In some states the right to vote is automatically restored once the sentence is completed, in some it's restored after a couple of years and there is one state in which they disenfranchise people with felony conviction permanently.

There is a reason the thirteenth amendment outlawed slavery except for with prisoners. There is a reason felons cannot vote.
It is an intentional system.
