The sad part is I know this person and he has actually started a downward spiral. He needs help and maybe jail is just what he needs. I didnt know he stole from a store. It is sad that his life has turned to this. He was a cool kid but not very good role models

I did not know the extent of his addiction. Jail is the best choice to hopefully straighten him out. I hope everything works out for him. I will be praying for him

Jail doesn't 'help' anyone. Its graduate school for criminals. Hope he gets raped to shreds... he should grow a beard, its a nice handle for the ppl who will rape him to shreds.
