I think I've told this story before but I'll tell it again regardless, it's an anecdotal example of our system. When I was in high school I had a friend named Chris. Chris was a happy, fun person to be around. Chris had a girlfriend, and one night when her mom was away they were getting into some "heavy petting" in her apartment. This all happened when we were all about 17-18 years old. Her mom came home and found them in some state of undress and called the cops. Eventually Chris was convicted of statutory rape, despite his girlfriend testifying in court and writing letters to the judge stating that they'd never had intercourse. When he came out of prison a few years later he was not the same happy go lucky guy anymore, he was a yoked • prone to violence for any perceived affront and very quickly all of his old friends distanced themselves from him because no one wants to hang out with someone like that. Prison changes people, I think there are a very few who were very bad when they went in and come out better afterwards, but I think the majority of good people who get caught up come out as much worse people than they were before they went in. I don't want Chris flying an airplane. It doesn't matter how you wish this all works, what matters is how it actually all works now.
