It is legal in most states for non felons to vote from prison/jail, of course some states make it difficult.

Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but there are no non-felons in prison. But there are those in county jails awaiting trial who are not yet convicted (or will be found not guilty) of a crime, and your point is an important one.
If we want to get too technical there are some states that place people that commit certain misdemeanors in prison as opposed to jails.
It's not the majority, but it does happen.
