You can renounce U.S. citizenship. However, unless you are currently a dual citizen, you will become "stateless." Also, the act of renouncing can sometimes have financial consequences. Renouncing will not erase your prior criminal record. Finally, reentering the U.S. on a visa after renouncing may be very difficult since the nature of the offenses for which you were convicted generally trigger inadmissibility to the U.S.
