Being in a jail or prison is certainly cutting down on their "right" to liberty - and if you're a convicted felon, you also usually lose your "rights" to vote or own firearms. In general, the various branches of government are free to restrict any other "rights" they choose, as long as they manage to stay clear of the Eighth Amendment prohibition against "cruel and unusual punishment".
