Does having done time make you more law-abiding now? i.e. don't want to go back?

[/ QUOTE ]

absolutely.
Remember the anti-drug commercials, where a teenager would have something like 'basketball' or 'my little brother' as their anti-drug. Well, 'prison' is my anti-drug. It really hurt to let down my family, girlfriend, close friends, etc. I never want to put them through that again. I have never held drugs since.

Has having been to prison affect your gambling?

[/ QUOTE ]
yeah...i don't mind the negatives, such as the people in a casino or the swings so much. It also makes me unlikely to trust people, which I think is a good thing if one spends lots of times in casinos.

Or was it more of a result of the difficulty finding a job?

[/ QUOTE ]
that's a big part too

How long is the look-back time? My coworker was able to get an internship with Chase recently and his didn't show up.

[/ QUOTE ] 7 to 10 years is pretty standard, some go all the way back

[ QUOTE ]

What would you do differently if you could go back? - with regards to your time spent.

[/ QUOTE ]
hmmm....before prison, I would've never held more than a night or two's supply for myself on me no matter the discount for buying in bulk.
As far as time spent, I wish I would've volunteered to work even more hours and been happier to work shoveling [censored] rather than hang out with the population.
