@ this thread! Being a former social worker in a prison, I will just tell you all to be careful, because these guys can get very attached to anyone that is there for them. A lot of them are left behind by their family and friends, so they will cling to someone who takes the time to pay attention to them, and get VERY hurt when someone leaves them. I've had hard core gangsters crying in my office talking to their girlfriends on the phone. While I don't think there's anything wrong with being there for someone incarcerated, just be careful for yourselves because they can kick some GOOD game in there!
