Would you be friends with someone who has done time in prison?

I've known a few in my time.

One for repetitive drink driving (5 year sentence.)
One for petty theft.
One for armed robbery, assault to an airline hostess, drug dealing.
One for armed robbery, assault, drug offences.

All of them were sketchy in their own way, but all characters. I guess I liked how they were interesting.

The guy who assaulted an airline hostess had a nice girlfriend who even got him an apartment in her name (given that anyone who would run his name would say NO WAY).

So one night they had a fight in his brand new apartment and he smashed up the place, breaking the mirrored sliding doors in the bedroom.

This is why you don't get too close!
