re: #169 MsJ

I have to disagree with the last part. His ā€œrehabilitationā€ was internalā€¦ It came from hearing his sonā€™s first cries. To me thatā€™s internal (inherent) to the man himself. We donā€™t know what he did (he could have been in jail for anything from unpaid parking tickets to murderā€¦but Iā€™m betting itā€™s more towards the former than the latter), but I doubt prison in and if itself had anything to do with his ā€œrehabilitationā€.

Oh, youā€™re right about his inner virtues; I was just thinking about the fact that at least he was in a place that offered education as part of the program. (Maybe Iā€™ve been watching too much Orange is the new Black.)

I read that he was in on a weapons charge, but didnā€™t see any more detail. Two-year sentence, so couldnā€™t have been anything major.
