    Part of the punishment that comes with being a felon is reduced rights. If this angers you, perhaps you should read The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander. While it focuses on the racial disparity of prison systems, it also focuses greatly on how being a felon severely reduces your standard of living. The theme is that minorities who are more likely to receive prison sentences are reduced to second class citizens legally due to their felon status.
