Actually ? I don't know anyone that's served time in prison personally, so that's a new one on me. Doesn't sound like much to be proud of though.
Are you disturbed at how some people seem to be proud to have served time in prison?
It is disturbing. They wear it as a badge of courage and "I paid my dues".
No. I know many, including several family members who have been in a revolving door and they're happy to keep going back. Its no big deal to them.
I once knew a man who served 6 years, out 30 days, returned to serve another 5 years. Happy camper.
I haven't known anyone who was proud of it. Quite the opposite. In one case, he doesn't want anyone to know, and he's worked hard to live a better life. Prison was their wake up call. It was either prison or death.
I have only seen reference to that on TV or in the movies and have never met anyone like that. Anyone I know who went to prison wanted to put it behind them and move on with their lives. Of course doing time limits your job opportunities.
