Was he all messed up on drugs/alcohol when his crimes were committed?

[J.R.H.WIFE]

Was your man addicted to something, and it got him in the place he is today?


James was a major drug user and needed to "come up" and well long story stort his addiction landed him 5 years again. Lucky we only have 2 1/2 left!

[Trini'slady]

No, he wasn't on anything when he got locked up.

look at that statistic. unbelievable.. just really crazy... i never could imagine what it is like on drugs. i never been. but my husband after he met me met a girl who was heavily into dope she got him hooked on it. i didnt see him during those last two years only two times but he looked normal it was during the day and i saw him in staten island in 1990 on bay street fixing the harley i bought him in 1989. he was nice but our conversation lasted 5 minutes.
then it started with the robberies and him being on a 100-200 a day herion kick. she died in 1993 and he overdosed in 99 realizing what the hell was he doing he has been drug free ever since.

[AngelRose]

yes, he was. that is why now he is a big advocate of saying no to drugs and a member of the prisons youth awareness program.

Yup, my husband was drunk, high on speed, and had been up for days (he was hiding his drug use from me). The great news is that he has been sober ever since the day he was arrested, and he is out now for 3 months clean and sober, and he loves it. He has a total of 19 months 10 days sobriety.

[meljoe1999]

there were drugs involved but he wasnt using them. he sold them. he never done any drugs.

[bookieworm2000]

Everytime my son got in trouble he was on drugs

[MsSchema]

yes drugs where involved. he says that prison saved his life!!I beleive that.....

[ROB6RTZ WIF6Y]

yes he was 2 very bad drugs he didnt need to be doing

[Eternal Hope]

Yes, he was under the influence of at least a lot of alcohol..maybe some pot too, when crime happened...
The victim came in high as a kite, and was raging as well.

[psnvyd]

my fiance was high when he commited his crimes and he has a drug problem when he was sober i loved him and when he was high i still loved him but it made him do some dumb s*** he was sniffing coke smoking angel dust crack and weed all the time. so drugs played a major role in his actions because he commited those burglerys 4 money to get his drugs.

[monet420]

The reason my is in is because is was on drugs and selling them..

[California Sunshine]

yes my ex was a meth addict when he landed himself in prison

[lil_mommi77]

Why am I so apprehensive about answering "yes" to this question?

[starting over]

I would guess a good 60 to 70 % of the time, if not more, a harmful substance is the cause of why people are in jail/prison. No one makes any good choices when they drink/are involved w/drugs.
