To flip it around: Allowing incarcerated people to vote removes any political incentive to convict supporters of political opponents. This would allow reforms about incarceration to be less politically divisive, and more focused on what's good for society.
I would go further, and say that their voices should be represented, as they as likely people who society has failed, before they failed society.
I support making voting a right to all citizens, removing any games around preventing others to vote, and ensuring everyone has a voice. Yes, even the worst of the worst, as the harm in letting them have their meager affect on the voting results is far less than those caused politicians choosing who their electorate is.
