Does anyone have a close relative in prison?

Or a close friend. Was their crime horrible? Do you maintain any relationship with them? What are your thoughts on cutting off family that has committed horrible crimes.

@SkeetSkeet Oh no. I have an uncle who was a good natured alchky. He was in a band as well but he was basically a good guy, worked 9-5. His wife got tired of the blackouts and drunken crying and put him out. He still came over to take his daughter to school sometimes and it was understood to be a separation and not truly heading toward divorce. One week he did not come for several days while in a drunken stupor. During that time his wife had a heart attack because she was born with several issues being a dwarf. His daughter was sitting there in the house for a while before help arrived. He was so upset at being drunk and away that he graduated to hard drugs and proceeded to ruin his life and his health. He used the insurance money to total his new car while on crack and land in a coma for 4 months. The hospital jacked up his stomach when they sewed him back up (he would not find their mistakes for another 9 years) so whenever he ate he would immediately throw up so from that day forward he has spent his days smoking crack and nearly dying many times and having several strokes. He weighs about 85 pounds now. Hes still a nice guy.
