Just curious...is going to jail an "IN" thing? Do you get street credibility or something for how much time you serve?

For me personally going to jail isn't cool but the fact of the matter is many of our brothers and sisters are locked up. Depending how you were raised, where you were raised cats do get street cred b/c for the ones who are in the streets bangin & slangin they feel connected to these dudes b/c they have been in the same situation. Cats who do serve extended bids and who keep their integrity get a lot of respect when they come home b/c not everyone who goes to jail make it back home b/c in jail or prison its a different world. I have family who have served jail & prison and they always told me to do the right things and stay focused b/c being locked up isn't what it is! They didn't make the right choices which landed them in jail or prison but I got mad respect for them b/c they came home and changed their lives.
