Yes, the notion that a person deserves consequences of an act if they know the probable consequence of the act and do it anyway is a common refrain from those who favor extreme disenfranchisement.  I, however, do not see that a criminal's "choice" justifies arbitrary consequences as the consequences are not immutable as in falling if one steps off a cliff.  Consequences are handed out by people who have discretion and in truth it is those people who determine the consequences.  One must be careful in saying that choices imply responsibility for consequences as the principle covers drunk girls and drunk boys who have sex.  Both drunks made the choice to place themselves in the situation and the probable consequences are well known.  If you say the drunk girl is responsible for the consequences on these pages, you will be fried in oil, hated, scorned, etc. etc.  So the principle of responsibility itself is applied arbitrarily, i.e. in a discriminatory manner.
