How do I tell a woman I was in jail before?

I was put in jail overnight when I was 17 for domestic violence. I’m now 23. I’ve changed a lot since then. How would I tell a woman about my past without scaring her off?

It's not something that you need to divulge right away when you do not know the woman well.
Later if you feel that you are getting ready to become exclusive or are spending a lot of time together then you can tell her and you should tell the whole story. Hopefully by that time she will already see your changed character but it will still be normal for her to be cautious because most abusers are really nice in the beginning.
