Back to AL possibly friends or someone do stuff for him...
I know a lady, who works with a Prison Ministry group that goes to various Arkansas Dept of Corr facilities. Precious lady.. but she has a lot of self and image insecurities. She fell in LOVE with this one guy a few years back... they got married... we were all kind of shocked but not if that makes sense. We tried to be supportive, and realistic. (In a gentle way as not to make her feel like we no longer were her friend) Even from the within the prison you could see her slowly changing... I don't remember what it was exactly that caused her to "wake up" or if we were really told the whole truth, but whatever it was, I am so glad it happened. She was so upset at herself and ashamed. She did nothing to be ashamed of. She was manipulated and used. We tried to explaine that could happen in the outside real world as well, but chance greater from prison. Thankfully she has bounced back, and still does her mission work, but has different outlook on some stuff.
I know of another lady, friend of a friend thing... her daughter works with a lady whose son is in prison. The daughter got to be good friends with her coworker and then with the son. Dtr ended up marrying the guy in prison. She posts pictures of them on her fb and even takes her preteen daughter to the prison for visitation with her to see him. It gives me the creeps. The mother of the girl is very close to dtr and granddtr. And she is beside herself. The dtr came from a very abusive relationship, living in another state. I have heard the guy wont be getting out of prison for a very long time. Sounds like such a waste... I am a very open minded person (or try to be). I believe we all need extra chances and we all can change. But life experiences mold our beliefs. I sure there are some people in prison that are good people that made some very bad choices. I know there are some that are not in prison that make and get away with some horrible stuff. We have to hope it catches up with the bad folks sooner than later. Like someone else posted, LEO do make mistakes. We all do. But I believe they get more right as a whole than wrong. And yes, 1 is too many. But we do not nor will we ever live in a perfect society.... in this life anyway. Jmoh
