What went wrong? When Your Children Go To Jail


Out of all of the people you know, someone has spent time behind bars. It could be a friend of a friend, or a brother or maybe even yourself, but many people make bad decisions and wind up on the wrong side of a jail cell.

Cameron Douglas, the son of Hollywood's acting elite Michael Douglas, plead guilty to charges of selling large quantities of crystal meth and cocaine today in a Manhattan courthouse. [nydailynews.com]

He faces up to 10 years in prison.

Drugs can be a huge factor in the beginnings of criminal activity. An uncle of mine spent most of his life behind bars . He chose to drive drunk one night and hit and killed another person. These actions affect not only the person who committed the crime but those of the family.

Should the the parent's of these children bare any of the brunt of these actions or are they limited to the committer?
Have you know anyone who has served time and how was it on those left behind?
