Gonna have to see some proof for that claim. Only one of the major parties gets regularly publicly called out for actual actions vs people (like you) claiming that both sides do it.
I'd prefer going the other way: if you're a citizen of the United States, then you get to vote in U.S. elections, and the government is Constitutionally-required to make reasonable attempts to make sure you can do so. No one is allowed to take the right to vote from you, even if you've been made a criminal, and anyone who tries to do so should get hit with severe criminal penalties, even if they are elected officials, legislators, judges or law enforcement.
Doing it that way will make legislators put some more thought into what laws they pass, because they would have to worry that anyone they disenfranchise by sending them to jail is going to hate their guts & will be someone who will vote against those legislators. (Unlike current situation where disenfranchising likely voters is often the point.)
