At the most severe level, some states still have a death penalty. Other forms of punishment include incarceration at local state, and federal prisons. Lesser forms are used in most jurisdictions for certain classes of crimes such as probation, community service, restitution, fines, loss or suspension of driver's license, and various types of court orders to stay away from certain people and places.

What are the punishments for racism?

To the best of my knowledge, there is no punishment for racism per se.That said, in the United States there are criminal punishments for violating another person's civil rights, and there are enhancements for what are called "hate crimes," which are sometimes hard to define. I think for most people, though, a hate crime is a lot like pornography: I can't define it but I know it when I see it.


How many U.S states practice civil death denying all or almost all rights to former felons?

I would assume over half the states do as well as the federal government. those states which sponsor civiliter mortuus do so under the euphemism "collateral sanctions" or the 4 C's [collateral consequences of criminal convictions]. These are multiple forms of punishment for past transactions [criminal] which exclude those with criminal records from the full benefits of citizenship in the United States even after their criminal convictions have been fully adjudicated. Often these state sponsored punishments are disproportionate and have no direct nexus to the criminal offense, overly represented within the black population raising claims of covert racism. Civil death is no different than slavery. Civil death should be opposed.
