hi..........
sounds to me like you need a new sky......
I am sure you have done some research on the topic and as well your experience would had made you aware of the restrictions placed upon you as a convicted felon.... nevertheless I point you to a website with information:

http://www.ehow.com/facts_6059710_restrictions-convicted-felons.html

next, you have to know if you can get a passport. I am assuming that you are free of parole.

Suppose you can obtain a legal passport and then make a decision to travel. I think you would want to select a country where no visa is required for entry.... that way it is your passport which qualifies you for entry to that country.

from this website:

http://www.ehow.com/facts_7605484_foreign-felon-go-usa-passport.html

I quote:

Visa-Free Countries

Dozens of countries do not require visas for U.S. citizens. Thus, if you have a valid U.S. passport, entry should be straightforward and no different than as if you had no criminal record. Some foreign nations which do not require visas for U.S. citizens include: Mexico, all Caribbean countries, all countries in the European Union, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Thailand, New Zealand and South Africa.

alright, now when you enter Peru you have an automatic permission for I believe 90 days and I think you can have 180 just for the asking.

In Peru - what is required to extend this automatic visa is that you leave and return the country before the expiration of either the 90 or 180 days - in other words you have to cross a border and have your passport stamped when you re-enter.... thus... an automatic extension from That date.

You can do this indefinitely and remain legal in Peru. To cross a border you can travel to either of these bordering countries usually by bus.. Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and return. Your return can me Immediate.

In this case you will technically be a Perpetual Tourist in Peru.

Peru Residency is easy to obtain but performing all of the steps is very much a trying task. Likely you will need help with the process. However, to do this you have to qualify for residency in one way or another. If you can qualify for any of the categories of residency it is best to know if ultimately your record is a deal breaker in the eyes of Peru. Be aware that there is an Interpol portion of the requirement . I do not know if Peru Immigration Law allows or disallows residency for a person with a history. I am pretty sure that it will not be difficult to find out at the Peruvian Embassy where you are.

In any case if Peru has no such restriction then you would apply for residency should you be able to qualify in the way any person would in the different categories of residency here.

If they do not allow it because of your record then the Perpetual Tourist path may be the best.

As a perpetual tourist generally life here would be restricted but not severely. It would probably be a good idea to carry always a copy of your passport and be aware that you would Not be able to open a bank account which might make some things a little difficult.

However is you have a spouse or such who is with you and not having the particular restrictions that you may have then that person could apply for residency and obtain it and have banking privileges and so on.....

I offer my opinions here as a not professional in the area....
