A felon is someone who committed a felony(More serious crime) An ex felon is someone who has finished parole and is back in society.

Sorry, that is incorrect. "Ex-felon" is a grossly, almost always misused term. A person who was in prison on felony charges but is now out of prison is still a felon. The only way to be an ex-felon is to have been acquitted of the charges.

I should also add that an expungement does not make you an ex-felon either. An expungement simply means the felony is no longer on your PUBLIC record. Also, a felon can sometimes have his rights restored, but that doesn't make you an ex-felon either.

The term ex-felon is almost always used incorrectly. Once you are a felon, you are always a felon, period, unless you are later acquitted of the charges. People almost always us the term ex-felon to mean someone who is no longer in prison, and that is not what it means.

The difference between a felon & a convicted felon is past & present. Generally, if one is incarcerated in a prison or detention center is called a "convicted" felon. A felon is anyone who, in part, commits a felony offense. After the incarceration that has been sentenced is served that person is considered a felon or ex-con (ex-convict.).

If you've been convicted of a felony, you're a felon, whether or not you're still state property. The only way one could be an "ex-"felon is to have been acquitted of the crime after they've been convicted.
