Abstract
The loss of the right to vote is commonly seen as a collateral consequence of a felony conviction. However, few studies have investigated the connection between voting rights loss and the reentry experiences of the formerly incarcerated. Focusing on self-concept and perceptions of stigma, a sample of formerly incarcerated individuals participated in a survey. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Findings suggest some relationship between loss of voting rights and challenges to reentry and rehabilitation, particularly as it relates to stigmatization.
