None of the thousands of friends or professional associates that I have known over my lifetime have ever been to jail.
I never knew them personally, but the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr went to jail more than a few times. So did the Apostle Paul.... Just because you have been in jail doesnt' make you a horrible person for the rest of your life. And I hate to say this being a black person, it is possible to have a relative in jail and a different relative that is a physician or dentist or teacher. I am speaking from experience.
--And I hate to say this being a black person, --
None of my black friends or co-workers have been in jail either.
