As far as rehabilitation is concerned I'm not totally sure the prison system rehabilitates or imposes fear of not wanting to return. Is there a difference? having been to prison in my early 20's prison was by no means any thing like rehabilitating, more of a place to learn how to do more crimes and not get caught. I guess it's up to the individual whether or not they want to be rehabilitated. I continued to break the law and did numerous acts of crime not getting caught for the next 16 years. I finally was caught for selling drugs. arrested and threatened with prison time. I chose to do the whole drug rehab thing again, went thru a drug court program, and have been successful ever since. I'm a college student, employeed at a sober house, a new father to a beautiful baby boy; and continue to work with other men in AA as a sponsor, friend and a role model for my community. Rehabilitation is a choice left up to the individual. It worked for me thru fear of becoming a inmate for the rest of my life. until I wanted something more for myself, I would of continued to be a thug punk and a taker. I'm a giver and a lover today. By the Grace of God I shall continue this process!
