My youngest son is 26 years old and this is second time in prison. The first time was when he was 17 to 24, then he got out for a year and a half, made a big mistake, went to jail, pleaded guilty, got DOSA, went to a mim.security camp and gets out next year. when he was out last time, he fathered a real cute baby girl. She is a year and a half. In his previous prison time, my son spent almost a whole year in isolation right before he was let out. He had some adjusting to do. It was hard for him without proper help, and he started to use drugs. Well, the rest is history. When he gets out this time, he will be on strict observation, take random drug tests,  be on work release. The whole nine yards. If he fails, he must serve out the remainder of his prison term, which is 8 years. And Of course he doesn't want this to happen. He wants to resume his relationship with his baby girl and so on. This issue will be tough for him because he is an ex convict. I don't have any legal clues where I can help him in this regard, but we will work on it. My son has a  brother and sister. No dad. Lots of uncles though. But nobody visits, calls, or writes to him. Except me. And he does notice this. Well, this is my rant for today. haha.bye

    thank you for taking the time to read my post. It means a lot to me to know that there is other mothers out there who are going thru the same thing as I am.

    Yes, from 17 - 24, and being in isolation for longer than six months prior to his being released.

    So sorry for what you are going through. I sure hope things are better when he gets out. Do you have a relationship with his baby girl? My son went to prison when his daughter was 4, they were very close, he misses her a lot, she is the biggest joy in my life, she stays with me most weekends , my son says he wants to do so much better when he gets out for her, I pray he does!

    Iin prison from 17-24???  Wow, I wonder how anyone can ever go back to normal after that.  No reason to use drugs, but all that time can certainly be a instigator.  You didn't put his name, but God knows who he is.  I'm praying that next time he gets out with be different.  Hope you can get him some counseling.
