Would you go out with someone who had been to prison?

annascott

We all try to appear accepting and non-judgemental, but would any of you go out with someone who had been to prison?

I wouldn't. Even if it was for a non violent crime, it would be most likely that the person would be unemployable and without prospects...

What are your views?

wnolan1992

I would, but then, the only requirements I have for a prospective date at this stage are a pulse and bare consciousness. :pac:

Oooh it's funny 'cos it's true.....

They probably wouldn't even be a virgin either. . .

How does it make someone a gold digger if their ideal partner has limited prospects with work and travel?
Anyways, a life of crime done well can mean much more money than the state sanctioned route.

It depends on the crime.

Murder - No.
War Crimes - No.
Gang Crimes - Perhaps if reformed.
Political activism - Yes.
Cooking Meth - (If they looked like Jessie from breaking bad then yes.)

Do you think about future mortgages when dating somebody for first time? Thats SAD!

No, as they wouldn't be allowed to travel to certain countries. And I like travelling.

Also, Mam and Dad would not be impressed!

Convicted Of:
Armed Bank Robbery
Sexual Orientation:
Straight
Wants To Write To:

Women Only
Seeks:
Romance, Friendship

I'm looking for a woman with morals, principles, and with a great sense of right and wrong! I'm hoping for a state of true female friendship, trust and intimacy. A suitable match -- that would lead to a blissful union!! I'm looking for someone to share my life with; a drama free and peaceful life: to join me on my 15 acres of S.C. Land. I'm searching for someone special to propose to! What I offer: I'm 6'1", 200 lbs., childless, disease and drug free, very health conscious. I do not play the field, nor head games. I'm sincere, compassionate, sensitive and strong -- with no bad vices/habits. I do not believe in physical/verbal abuse. I view women as glass vessels (precious gifts from God). I'm the type of man that loves to keep my mate happy, smiling, and feeling good!! I aim to take care of all of my lady's economic needs, physical desires, and emotional urges. From my lady I'm eager to learn, eager to please, and eager to be helpful and romantically obliging. I'm the type of man who displays my affection. I enjoy kissing my lady before I leave home and immediately upon returning. I love giving massages to help my mate relax. I'm very generous. Love to drape my lady in fashionable gear, jewelry and fragrances. I love to communicate with my mate! Love to hug and cuddle. I put God first in my life, then my lady -- but I have a deep abiding love for my mother and thus maintain a close relationship with her. Some of my God-given talents are: I'm bilingual -- speak English and Spanish. Author (will start a publishing company upon my release). Lecturer, I am blessed behind a podium giving public lectures on any subject. (Will sell DVD's off the WWW). Jazz Musician (Tenor Saxophone). Ex-businessman and future entrepreneur. My goal is to become a millionaire (lawfully) within two years of release (God willing). There are still some good men behind bars who treat women like stars. If you want to meet a good man with old school values, write to me. You won't be disappointed!!!

Nice selection of "inmate pals" from California..

I can only feel sorry for them and its hard to blame they still try to be happy. It's not often someone goes to prison aften growing up in a happy- normal family... These are broken lifes ad they were usually punished twice- by society,life circumstances (and thats whats usually led to crime) and them by law.. I am not saying they shouldnt and I am not saying they're innocent, but thats usually the way it is..

This'll make ya laugh. Years ago, I borrowed a Honda 50 from a mate to go down to the shops with. I got stopped by a guard and asked about licence,tax and insurance. I had none of these, just my youthful good looks and sunny outlook on life, which counted for nothing. What didn't help is that the brakes weren't great, and I kinda drove over his foot a bit.. Well he did stand there like an eejit with his arm out motioning me to stop while he could see me furiously pulling on a bit of twine attached to the rear brake.
This wasn't why I went to prison though.
I heard no more from the guards until one day two of them came to my rented house to question me about my neighbours, who had a fairly dodgy reputation, petty thievery mostly, so I'd heard, which I didn't care about, I just paid them rent.
They kept asking me questions about them which I couldn't answer, told me they'd drop the bike charges if I talked, and when I still had no information I could see them becoming convinced I was just a liar, and they told me so, also that I was only a 'fuckin alien'.
I'm Dutch ya see.
Anyways, they left fairly p!ssed off, and next day I got a summons to go to court on a motoring charge, nearly six months after the event. In court, the judge called it 'joyriding' (:D:D:D) because, not wanting to get my mate in trouble for having no insurance and lending me the bike I had said I took the bike without his consent, said 'Would you do this in your own country?' , I thought it irrelevant and said 'Well actually, back home they would've given me an on the spot fine and sent me on my way, they don't believe in wasting court time', and I got sentenced to a month in Mountjoy. Slightly harsh.
On top of this, our local rag had a half page on it with the headline 'Dutchman stole bike'.
I did two weeks in Mountjoy and one in the 'training unit'.
It's an experience.;)
So no, I didn't kill anyone, but apparently I'd be a terrible prospect for some people. These are the breaks. ..

It would depend on the crime, if the murdered or raped someone then no.
I would not judge everyone that has been to prison. People can make mistakes it does not necessarily mean they are unemployable.

Vague question is vague. "Being in prison"? Doesn't bother me in the slightest on its own. What did you do to deserve it? Obviously if you assaulted, murdered, or mugged someone that would put me off, but the prison time itself? No.

They don't put regular people in prison most of the time. Generally its only the scum and I wouldn't take the risk.

Interesting question. How do you introduce the subject.....

ie.... btw before we start chatting i have been to prision so you might not want to go out with me.

it depends on what they went to prison for and how long ago it was but tbh i imagine its not something you will know about until you actually talk to them and get to know them by this time you might be hooked...

As for prospects..... You make your own.
