My brother is in a maximum security prison. He went in when he was 20 and will die there. He has grown and changed so much since he has been there (10 years so far), but he made some bad choices and will never be able to redeem himself no matter how different he is. Breaks my heart.

Not that I know of. My mom's bio - dad was not a good guy but I don't know if he was ever in jail or prison. He told my mom she had half siblings she would never know. So I know nothing about them. Or if they really exist.
The closest I have is one of my SIL's served a year in women's prison, for driving the car while her friend shot a gun towards her H's house. She was ~22 at the time, and the craziest thing to me, was that she was still married to the guy for a long time afterwards. Like, at least 5 years. They are finally divorced now. She's still a hot mess, but wayyy better than she used to be.
Oh and she has a totally standard middle class name but spells it crazy to make herself look more gangster...picture Tracy spelled like Tray'See...lol...
I don't even know anyone non-related who has been to prison.
I'm so vanilla.
I didn't until I met DH. His friends and family are ...different...than the way I was raised. Lots of felons, in and out of jail, lots of drugs, etc. He grew up very poor in a bad neighborhood and I grew up upper middle class in a fancy suburb. It's been quite shocking to me to see how other people live.

My H has a half-brother who has a problem with drug addiction and he is in and out a lot. Not sure one his current status at the moment. It's really sad. They will lock him up over and over again but I don't think he has ever been offered treatment of any sort.
Not currently. BIL has an outstanding warrant for theft. He has never been to prison but he is quite familiar with the workings of a few county jails in the area where he lives. Drug charges and theft. FIL went to jail when he was younger. He did a year for theft. DH specified that it was jail not prison. I thought jail was where you go until your trial and any sentencing is at a prison, right? So I don't get that but maybe he's mistaken.
Not at the moment, but my brother has been in and out of jail and prison since his teens. I'd be kidding myself if I said he'd never end up there again.
