Has any of you served an undue prison term?

Answer 1

I have (knock wood) never even been arrested, but someone I love is presently serving a life sentence for a murder he did not commit.
He's not the only inmate in my life, just the only one who is completely innocent of the crime for which he was convicted... two of my other friends are quite guilty of the crimes for which they are serving time and while there were mitigating factors that should have reduced the charges, my own brother does have some time comin'... I point this out to avoid the inevitable comments from the ones who feel obliged to challenge my claim that he's innocent by assuming that I believe all inmates to have been wrongfully convicted.

Answer 2

I have not, but I have been falsely accused and thousands of dollars later exonerated, but sadly no apologies. Unfortunately our justice system is so overload and jaded that rarely do they have the time or the intelligence in some cases to objectively evaluate situations and many innocent people are sent to prison. Every conservative republican will tell you different but it's just one of those things that until you experience it yourself you will never believe. Sadly, until it happens to enough people and the awareness is there it won't change.

Answer 3

I've never served any kind of prison term....and I'm never going to.

Answer 4

Nope, and don't plan on it. Besides I don't know many cons who that they deserved the term they were given, remember the prison system is full of felons who are "innocent".

Answer 5

Does my relationship with my last girlfriend count?
Seriously, though, I've got a couple friends that spent some time at the crossbar hotel and they deserved it. They'll even admit it.

Answer 6

they tried to accuse me when I was being stalk it to the point you don't make a police report cause where I live they accuse you of a crime even if you didn't do any crime

Answer 7

Haven't they all!
