[quote=Anonymous]I have a brother in prison, but I wouldn’t call him a dud. His birth parents were substance abusers and he was born addicted. He qualified for a lot services from birth, but many weren’t well done and there was a significant amount of household instability undermining everything. I was out of the house by then with a child of my own so I wasn’t involved in a way that might have made a difference. I would say he’s the outlier though because all five other kids are law abiding as are his two bio siblings on either side of his birth. He is just brain damaged enough to lack impulse control but not enough to legally not be accountable. He likes prison because it is highly structured and he has limited choices. Only two other relatives have ever been in trouble with the law and one of those was arrested for a Civil Rights Era sit in.[/quote]
