civil disabilities
Apart from the sentence which is imposed upon a convicted offender, numerous civil disabilities are also often imposed. These disabilities, which adversely affect an offender both during his incarceration and after his release, include denial of such privileges as voting, holding public office, obtaining many jobs and occupational licenses, entering judicially-enforceable agreements, maintaining family relationships, and obtaining insurance and pension benefits. A form of civil disability resulting from a DWI conviction is the revocation or suspension of driver's license.
