[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 663634, member: 18238"] Jail/Prison is a double edged sword. I have seen cases where people walked in, the reality hit them in the face and they wanted no more of it and straightened up their lives. I have also seen people who were not criminals and had just made a bad decision walk in and walk out a more effective and enthusiastic criminal. I wish I could tell you that I knew that this is what will turn his life around but I would be lying. It is possible but its been my experience that the two examples I gave are extremes and most fall into the category of screwing up criminally a few times before getting their lives straight. If I've learned nothing else in my time working for Corrections, its that people will change their lives when they are damned well good and ready and not a moment before and there is no way to predict when they will be ready.
