Do you have any family members in prison?

[hisno1girl]

Mother, father, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, cousins?

This question was brought on by a conversation that EVERYONE has a family member in prison, somewhere.

Yeah, the person who said it is kind of a dick.

[wowhead]

Not currently but I have a cousin who did some time.

[Deleted]

Not that I know of....

I know my step dad was in prison for something, but he never told me what for.

[wambam]

A cousin.

His mom left when he was a baby and his dad killed himself. He was raised by my grandparents. They did the best they could, but he was sort of on that path from the beginning After his first stint, my uncle tried to help him out - got him a car and helped him find a job. But he was back in prison within a year. It's really very sad.

[gretchenindisguise]

Not currently, but my uncles have done time.

I was in for a bit... On the other side of the bars though.

[birdistheword]

I have a distant cousin who went to prison for stabbing someone (I think he's out now), and H has a cousin currently serving 15 years, really should be more.

My brother served a year in federal prison for a border crossing / gun incident. He is no longer welcome in Canada. He has managed to turn things around since then.

[AHappierHour]

Not currently. But my moms brothers was in and out his whole life till he died.

[MWOS]

I'm not sure if they're there currently...but if not, they should be

[W.T.Faulkner]

I should.

[cbwm1]

Does DH's step-cousin count? lol

[zoidberg]

Maybe. My mom's side of the family are a bunch of degenerates, but I don't specifically know of anyone in prison.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

Cousin

[speckledfrog]

Not currently

[ralphlauren]

No

[gozf]

No, miraculously.

[katfco]

I never have, but DH's uncle has spent time in and out of prison. He seems to have finally cleaned himself up (we hope).

[my4girls]

Currently no, in the past yes

[Deleted]

Yes. For life.

[sapphireblue]

No. My mother was in Parchman Penitentiary in Mississippi for about six weeks, but I don't count that because she was a Freedom Rider. I'm proud of her time there!

But yes, technically, my mother was in prison, I guess...

[TrickyBob]

Nope, none

[angelaa73]

Yes. My uncle (by marriage! By marriage!) is a convicted serial killer

[kdmac]

Nope.

[ssmjlm]

Not presently, but I do have a family member that served time.

[Stingyshark]

Not at the moment, that I know of. But I have a cousin who did 11yrs not that long ago.

No, but I have a cousin who is probably lucky not to have ever gone. lol.

[WOT?*]

My step-dad (former, and now deceased from complications of alcoholism) was in prison for killing a black man who flirted with his first wife. (Yes, the race was relevant because he was white, his wife was white and it was Georgia in the 70s. The guy said something to her so...he killed him in a fit of rage.) He spent less time for that than he did for bigamy, for which he was also jailed. He was a real winner. I assume it was prison rather than the local jail, considering the crime. But maybe it was just the local jail, considering the crime.

One of the girls' bio-dads is in prison for B&E to feed his drug addiction.  He's not related but technically he's her dad so, I suppose that counts as currently incarcerated?

[lostrn]

Does DH's uncle (by marriage, not a sibling of one of his parents) count? Yay medicare fraud:(

[lime]

Not currently. One of my dad's brother had served time for molesting both of his children.

Actually, I don't really speak to most of my family, so it's possible that someone is in prison that I don't know about.
