It doesn't come with life-long punishment. She's banned from public office for five years (immediate), and jailed for four years (won't come into effect until after the appeal).

I'm just talking about felons in the US who have served their time in incarceration and finished parole/probation/supervised release being denied multiple rights for the rest of their lives.

That’s actually up to each state. For example in my home state you can vote once you’ve served your term and any probation.
