Pennsylvania Criminal Law categorizes crimes and their penalties as either Felonies or Misdemeanors, with 3 subclasses of each. Felony offenses are the worst possible criminal offenses, and are punished with penalties ranging from by prison sentences over 1 year in length to death by execution for capital offenses.
