" Well as a ex juvenile convict i have changed alot. There is alot of hope in people that are leaving prison. That person will come out twice as good as when he went in. I never thought i could change but i got sent away and came back and i cant believe how much i have changed. So dont be worried about it he will be a sweet guy. "

" I think it can change him if he allows it to, and if he truly wants to change. My man is in until June 2 2014 and i'm hoping and praying that he does change. Good luck and if you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask! "

" My husband has come full circle. He's seen what unconditional love can do for him. Everyone is different and sees the light at different times. I hope it finally sinks in for your man. Is this his first time going into jail/prison? Continue to stand strong and take it one day at a time. "

" I am new also and my husband is in prison for 4 years for drugs and is also a repeat offender. I pray that prison makes a difference because I could never go through this pain again and hurt that I struggle with daily. He has been in prison a few times but I wasnt in his life then and he said he now has a reason for change because of me and our daughter. I still have doubts but pray for a miracle. I have never been in jail but I cant imagine it wouldn't change someone. "
