[QUOTE="Steely, post: 268302, member: 3301"] I just wanted to send hugs and peace your way. I am not up to date with all that is going on - but it sounds like you are handling it really well. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know gangs are a prevalent form of survival in almost all incarcerated settings. There are very few inmates that do not affiliate themselves with some sort of association, even when they 50+ years old. It is like the judicial system reduces people down to their ancient, tribunal selves. They have to join to stay alive. None the less, joining these gangs is not like the gangs that we think of on the streets. Once out of the judicial system, these prison gangs are no longer existent. I believe if your difficult child decides to do this - he will only be trying to survive in his environment, and you should dismiss it as much as you can. Once he is back in the real world, he will not continue to be part of that. [/QUOTE]
