You don't necessarily need to disclose a criminal record or time spent incarcerated on your résumé, but you may be asked about it on job application forms. Laws regarding what employers may ask (and whether they can conduct a criminal background check)vary by state and profession, but if you are asked and the question applies to you, you are legally bound to answer truthfully.
