[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 741390, member: 23371"] Just one quick thought cause mine was in the position some of you mention. From what I've read, i'm no scientist: The brain continues development at least until mid 20s. Drug use can slow or stop that. But getting off drugs (due to incarceration for mine) can allow the brain to catch up. So not only will they "mature" due to circumstance in teens and early 20s, but a sober program can also push intellectual growth. My understanding anyway. As mine's HS years were controlled by drugs i always sent him more educational books in prison. He did read some real literature. And some science. Comparative religion. Business. History...lots of stuff. In that sense he's made up for some lost time. Only thing I could send anyway. Gotta love amazon! They happily deliver to prisons everywhere. [/QUOTE]
