The way this usually works is that at some point before the full sentence is served, a felon is offered a parole deal which includes limits to his rights. Voting rights and second amendment rights are typically bargained away for early release. I have no idea why they pick on these rights but the deal is usually taken.

Holy cow. That's really interesting. I guess, though, that Cunningham didn't bargain his rights away. Otherwise he'd obviously have no standing at all for his request.
