I Have Been In Prison

I was 18 when I went to prison for the first time. Given nine months for Assault with intent to resist arrest and shop lifting. Was released on probation after five months but was back inside within four weeks having broken the terms of my probation. Spent my 21st birthday behind bars for assault and robbery with an 18month sentence. Third and final time when I was 24, I was in for three months for my old favorite crime of shoplifting.

How have things been since? I was caught shoplifting once when I was 13.

@Lynn1976 I fell pregnant at 24 and that was the catalyst for myself and my partner to change our lifestyle

@AtlanticAlice That was the only real illegal thing I ever did. I never was charged but did have to go home with my mother. I actually joined the Naval Reserve at 18 while I was in university.
