[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 682385, member: 18958"] I am proud of him, too. I do not know what the law is in your state but where I live I believe even felonies can be expunged. The little bit of money I have, if I leave no survivors, will go to a recovery organization in LA run by a Rabbi and his social worker wife. The rabbi? A multi-term felon. I think robberies, and violent offenses. Drugs, too, I think. My people call that a no-goodnik. I think already in his mid-thirties he decided to change. Eventually he went to rabbinical school. He must be in his sixties now. They serve hundreds of people with mental illness, addiction issues, you name it. They take anybody. A faith-based model. My son is not one bit interested. Society will give all sorts of chances if somebody changes. (I knew a young man when I was young who was arrested for selling drugs in England. He wanted to be an attorney. There is a provision whereby one goes before the bar and asks for an exemption to the ethics codes in place. He succeeded. That was more than 40 years ago.) I worked in prisons and had to endure people asking why I had an FBI file. I can guess, but I am not exactly sure why. The important thing is to change. [/QUOTE]
