The Consequences of a Felony Conviction
The criminal justice system divides misdemeanors and felonies because of the belief that some crimes are inherently more problematic than others and therefore must be addressed with more severe punishment. In addition to these graver penal consequences, however, which include up to 10 years in a state penitentiary, fines, and other effects, there are potentially lifelong penalties that bear directly on other aspects of one’s life.
The possible effects of felony convictions include:
- Loss of the right to vote
- Ineligibility for public office or jury service
- Ineligibility for visas and other kinds of licensure
