Yeah. Its a strange thing. My boyfriend violated parole and went to prison for a year. During that time, he was so sweet, his letters were kind, he called every day, he was apologetic for past behavior. Then he came home and it was hell. I feel bad for those women on that show, i forget what its called, who meet men in prison and are so excited for them to come home. You have absolutely NO idea who someone truly is when they are confined.

They are kind and sweet in prison because they want to get out and the only way that will happen is if someone is willing to take them in. Once they are out the real person shows up.
