If you have already been convicted, pleading the 5th Amendment means nothing. The time to have used that defense against questioning would have been at the trial.
If someone has already asked the same question before on WikiAnswers, then you shouldn't ask the question. You should look at the answer already provided there. If there isn't an answer, then you just have to wait until someone answers it. Asking an already asked question should bring up a message, informing you that the question has already been asked and answered.

A criminal is someone that has been convicted of a crime. Once that has happened they are considered a criminal.
The president can grant clemency to someone convicted of a crime. Clemency can mean the sentence is either shortened or waived for that person.

I'm going to assume that since you said convicted you have already gone to court and been found guilty. This means that at least at one time you had an attorney. If you have been convicted, you need that attorney. Or a different one. There are appeals to be filed depending on how your trial proceeded. If you can't afford an attorney there is always the public defenders office.
You could look at police records......... or simply ask them if they have ever been convicted felon. lol
If you have not been convicted, you are NOT a felon.
An individual who's sent to prison is someone who has been convicted of a felony, and has been given a sentence of a year or more.
