Do you know anyone is jail right now who you used to be close to ?

Do you visit them, will you remain in contact when they come back out ?


I don't know anyone (that I know of).

hah, no, but I can think of a few who, were I the sentencing judge, would be. You'd be amazed what you can do and get community service.

Yes my brother but he's actually on home detention now. He's always been in trouble with the law.

A good friend's husband released just before Christmas after servibg 15 months for a white collar crime.

We didn't visit him, but we've seen him since - no issues there.

A family friend has also been in and out a lot over the last few years after getting in with a bad crowd / drugs. He's starting to turn things around now, but I've not seen him in a long time.

spending less time on EB and more time with a book

Yes. Not me but DH. Someone he grew up with and shared a house with after DH's marriage broke up.

We wont be visiting. The person messed up big time and is associated with people we do not wish to know or be even seen with. It is a shame. This person would do anythng for you, and was well known in his community for helping the elderly and less fortunate.

Unfortunately, he has a sense of not belonging and has chosen a path that he is hooked into. Possibly forever.

Sad really.
