Doing Time Together Yahoo Group Those who have been in jail or prison already know the truth.But I'm not after to make others change their minds about "criminals",only to ask them to keep an open mind,because whether they're guilty or not they can end up behind bars just as quick as the inmate they're looking down their nose at. People too easily feel that once a person has been behind bars,their life is over-they will always be a criminal. It is differcult for a person to live life on the streets again after being behind bars,but they have served their time, they deserve the chance and the support to start over.
