Are you afraid of people who have been in jail?

no i wouldnt if the person i know is a good person. it depends what the jail sentence was for though. i remember hearing that steve pavlina from stevepavlina.com said he was in jail for a while but he totally recovered and started a new life that abides laws, rules and regulations. if i didnt know the person, my first impression would not be so good for them and it would take time to recognize them as a good person, assuming they really are a good person.

I will be shocked at first but then I will still accept him/her because he/she is already a dear friend to me. My dad used to be in a rehab and I was even proud to flaunt to my classmates that he went there for 6 months. Others may not understand this thing but getting out of jail/rehab is a big fullfilment already.

It would have to depend on what his crime was. If he killed, raped or robbed someone then I would say I would be afraid of him. There is no excuse for violent crimes and that I couldn't overlook. If it was something minor, then I wouldn't act any different to him than I did before his troubles.

No I would not be afraid of someone if they proved to me that they were a good person inside. Everyone makes mistakes some more extreme than others, no one is perfect. Alot of people commit crime but just do not get caught.

There is not to fear with him. He may be guilty and if he feels he was guilty, then that is good. If you find that after jail he is still adamant of what happened to him you should try to avoid him since he may have developed some wrong habits. If you really love your friend try to first understand what the actuality was then try to persuade him, try to know whether if he have learned anything after this incident, does he repent of his fault. If all these answer are positive then you must support him to get him back to the normal life. And if these all get a negative answer you just try to avoid him because of his changed nature.
