how does going to jail change a person?
asked a similar question before but really wanted to see more opinions
My mother is currently in jail for a financial crime for six months. I have no problem with my mother and She was a good mother. Before this misdeed though I am wondering if now it might be hypocritical for me to listen to her now that she is a criminal. One thing I wonder is how being in jail will change her. Obviously spending eight months there would change you somewhat. I mean now that my mom is a criminal and will be surrounded by other criminals for eight months. I've talked to her on the phone and she seems the same but I still wonder. One positive that may come from this, maybe she will go easier on me. Though that could be a bad thing I guess

Going to jail can for sure change a person. Being surrounded by people who have also done wrongs can change a person due to being in that specific environmemt. It was lead her to be more trash talking, mean, physical or other things that jail has had impact on. Although, this is not the case. Being in jail does make a person realize that they should be good and a better person but it also sometimes dawns on them that they are now considered a "bad person". It depends on the person though and their mind. In some cases, being in jail for a long period of time can have no effect on the person whatsoever. I have had a few reletives or people I know that have done a crime, gone to jail and changed. I have also known people who haven't changed but got better! It really depends on the person and how long they've spent among other criminals. When your mother comes home, I would be a little cautious about her for a while until you figure out if shes changed or not. Hope this helps!
