I'm 21 and out on parole/probation at the moment after doing time for robbery. None of my family had been in trouble before so they took it badly and think I'm going to end up in prison for years. When I got out I wanted to go straight and get a job, take care of my kid, all the usual stuff but after having my first legal drink I got done for DUI and they are trying to charge me with other stuff to so I know I'm probably going back to jail for that and breaking my parole conditions. I'm out a month now but am back in court next week.
When I was trying to get a job they found out about my past and wouldn't hire me. I keep on getting stick and being called an ex-con, jailbird all that and I'm not being allowed forget that I've been in jail.
I feel like if you've made mistakes people think you can't change and won't give you a chance. You get more hassle from cops too who won't give you a break.
