Father-In_Law heading for Prison! Have you had a close relative go to Prison?

Many people don't know this, but my father was in jail for 5 years. I really don't know what he did, but I was told it was for beating someone. It's scary to think that anyone in a family can go to prison, but I am sorry that your father-in-law did such a thing, it has to feel horrible all at once. I hope that whatever happens it will bring closure. I wish you all the best. I will keep you in my prayers.

I had an uncle once who went to jail. He was drunk and was disturbing the peace at a neighborhood, he was sent to jail overnight. It's really difficult for a family to go through a loved one going to jail. How much more for those who's relatives really went in for a huge misconduct like raping someone or killing someone. That's really tough. I pray for those who are suffering and confused due to such circumstances. Anyways, here's a joke to keep things lighter: I took my high school government class on a field trip to the county jail. Near the end of the tour, we passed through the prison's recreation room. There I spotted two board games sitting on a table, selections that I thought were particularly appropriate to a correctional facility: Life and Sorry. =)
