Though felonies can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, the federal government defines them as: crimes punishable by at least one year in prison, all the way up to the death penalty, depending on the severity of the offense. Common examples of criminal activity considered to be felonies can include:

grand theft
rape
murder
manslaughter
many federal crimes

If you have a previous misdemeanor criminal record, that can also lead to a repeat misdemeanor offense being charged as a felony. In addition to lengthy prison sentences, fines, and probation, you may also be subject to restrictions on your right to own a firearm, community service requirements, loss of your privilege to drive, restrictions on financial aid and educational opportunities, and future difficulty in finding employment opportunities in many lines of work.
