[quote=Anonymous]OP, people aren't helping you much, are they?

Obviously, you need to take a hard look at who this person is, what he was prosecuted for, what his history is, how he is looking at his future, how long his sentence is expected to be, and so on. I know people who did time, mostly for drug offenses, who afterwards became hardworking, upstanding people.

It is definitely the case that imprisoned people who are able to maintain family ties in prison do better on release than those whose don't, and he has a child. At minimum, you're going to have to deal with raising a child whose father is in prison and consider to what extent you're willing to allow for a relationship. (If there are barriers beyond the significant barriers caused by the incarceration itself, that raises the odds the father will see his rights terminated at some point.

Look into programs that provide services for kids with parents in prison, just because they can give you some perspective and information that can help you understand what you'll be dealing with. [/quote]
