Your police record isn't an issue here, as you know, but I would hope that your jail time was just unpleasant enough for you to avoid doing whatever it was that got you there in the first place.

No details necessary. Just take whatever lesson you need to stay straight and out of legal trouble. I've seen some guys get into trouble - even do some jail time - than never have law trouble again (PKRWUD comes to mind).

Others just get into a downward spiral and end up in and out of jail for years, wasting their lives for crap and a losing lifestyle. I knew one or two guys like that. Lost track of them but they're probably still doing time somewhere.

The driving force is usuallly drug addiction or else just making buds of bums and criminal types combined with a lack of goals and self-control.
Then again, some people are just dumb, thinking that doing the same things that got them in trouble before won't get them in trouble again. I don't think that describes you at all.

Whatever happened, happened and it was gutsy of you to tell us you were in jail. Who would have known, otherwise? I'm impressed with your honesty.

Don't sweat the past, you can't change it, anyway. Just build yourself a good future - and come back anytime. You'll always be welcomed here.
