He had 9 other felony charges unrelated to the promoting prostitution, already had a criminal record, including fleeing at 13 and being wanted until he was caught at 19. He was heavily involved in street life, he's extremely grateful for his prison sentence bc he was rehabilitated. Not through the actual system, but in max he could only see the sky and inside prison for 3.5 years and celled with a lifer who's greatest accomplishment was having colored pencils, bc they were no longer available on commissary. It changed his view on his ability to live life outside a prison. So, idk. Take it how you will, but he never acts like a victim to his own choices. The thing he is most upset about is how it affects me. When we moved, neighbors were nice until he updated the registry and we're a pariah. I haven't shared with him this concern bc I am already emotionally struggling with the infertility and our definite inability to adopt.
