[QUOTE="DDD, post: 229385, member: 35"] That sounds like a prime "good news/bad news" recountin. :raspberry-tounge: I have a brother in law who is retired FBI and I have a easy child son who is a "honcho" with the State law enforcement community. When easy child/difficult child first began to smoke pot and the "threat" of "incarceration" was shared...I almost croaked. on the other hand my easy child son told me "Mom, you need to understand, when law enforcement threatens adults with jail they often get scared straight.Juveniles and young people, however, know they will be 'hanging out' with other people their age and that most of those young people are like them...not dangerous at all. Young people do not FEAR being locked up like middle aged and older adults do." Very, very, very sadly I found out that what he said is true. Whether you are dysfunctional or not, you are with peers and you don't have to fear for your life as the REALLY dangerous inmates are isolated from you. It is NOT a vacation but it is not the way we parents picture it either. Some fairly dysfunctional people find more acceptance in jail than they do in the regular judgemental society. It's bizarre. I am really sorry that you are learning about "the other side". DDD [/QUOTE]
