I'm not certain what you mean, but I'll point out that regardless of length of incarceration, a felony conviction has severe and long-standing repercussions. Many employment avenues are closed (maybe not a primary concern to Swarz). Want to travel abroad? Or, relocate. Sorry: Many places won't take you. (More of a concern to Swartz, perhaps.) Even domestically and outside of employment, there may be places you want to go and things you want to do that are simply no longer open to you. In some states, that includes voting. "Felony" is a whole nother level of escalation.
