Once convicted of a felony, you can lose all of your basic civil rights. You cannot vote, run for office, serve on a jury, or own any weapons. After release from prison, you may have problems finding a job or traveling to a foreign country. Obtaining a credit card, or getting a loan for a car, home or education may be impossible.
If, prior to conviction, you worked at a particular profession, your criminal record can affect employment in your chosen field after your release. You will never be eligible to receive a license to practice in specific areas, such as law, police work, CPA, or pharmaceuticals, depending on the nature of your crime. If you had a license for these trades before going to jail, it’s likely to be revoked.
As a felon, not only will you lose years of precious time with your friends and family, but you can never act as a foster parent or adopt a child.
In short, a felony conviction wreaks havoc on your life and on the lives of those that love you.
