[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 405392, member: 1233"] I'm sorry in some ways he wont' be getting early release, but that is normally a consequence for doing things like using drugs, and the other things that he has been doing. chances are the staff was never as blind to what he thought he was "getting away with" as he thought they were. Early release is a reward for doing what is expected of you, so this was largely under his control and he made his choice. I know that prisoners like to say someone is "out to get them" and sometimes it is true, but more often the things that are being done to "get them" are a result of their own behavior. Just like at home when he would say it was your fault that he stole from you or hit you or snuck out. I think that he is trying to blackmail you by saying he won't come home if you won't trust him. How on earth can he rationally expect you to trust him after he cut the pockets out of the clothing you were wearing and stole your last dollars?? Even if he had gotten help and was super remorseful for it, he would likely still be on some type of house arrest until he adjusted to the rules at hoem and of the PO. So your trust isn't his biggest hurdle. It won't be your trust that will keep him at home and not allowed to do things - it will be the court and PO. He just wants to make you feel bad because he is upset that he blew early release by getting high, etc... [/QUOTE]
