I really don't know why i am posting this. But i just wondered if people had anything positive that came from a situation like mine. My boyfriend is in Prison for life in Pa. He was 16 when he went into the system. And by no means do i think what he did was right. Nore does he. But at that age he was young and wild and trying to get his life together and messed up... I think ponishment is important. But do people change? I think he has. I maybe blind eyed cause of my feelings for him. He may never come home. But i will not give up on him or his life. He does not seem to me to be that person who did the things he is in prison for. It has been 12 years and i see him as a changed person with a clean record in the prison. He finished school. Works. From what i understand. The inmates in his prison really look up to him. But the one thing that makesme think he has changed. How he treats me. I came in after the picture. Meaning i was not in his life durring his crime. So i can not honestly answer for the way he was back then. But i am very close to his family. They have told me. He was never in trouble before and was the first and only time he was arrested. His family did not have the money for a good lawyer and did the best they could by following peoples advice.
He really seems to me to be a great person.
I guess i am writing this cause for some reason i really miss him today. Thanks for listening to my babble
