[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 764367, member: 18958"] This may be partly true. One thing that happens in prison is extortion for debts. He may have accrued a debt to somebody who is now threatening him for money. They know he does not have money, but the intention is to scare you into paying. To pay would be the exact wrong thing to do. If it's true he needs to begin to learn how to live in prison, which is to take responsibility. The authorities there are unlikely to allow that harm to come to him. They will put him into protective custody. If you do write back to him, tell him to advise his correctional counselor of the debt and to ask for protective custody. That is what I would do. His life is not ruined. He has made poor choices, but he's still alive and he can choose to live better than he has been. I used to pray my son would go to prison because I knew he would be forced to take responsibility for himself and what he chose. Prisoners live by a code of ethics. Primary is self-responsibility and honor, living like a man. Any day your son can decide to change, if he wants, and have a good life. Blue eyes this is a very old thread. I suggest that you start a new thread which is just for you. That way people will get to know you and your circumstances. [/QUOTE]
