If you knew someone who was in jail going through alot what advice would you give them? He will be locked up for the next three years. When he found out his mother was dying he broke 2 TVs and broke a bed. When his mother died he couldnt get a waiver to go to the funeral because of the broken property. His wife refuses to wait for him to get out of jail so she has been cheating. I know he feels lost cause his dad was a sorry ass dude. What can i say to motivate someone with so much on their plate. Someone who shouldve thought about their family before committing an act that would land him in jail for so long?
