For myself, *I've* never earned jail time, just community service, and I did it myself. And as far as that goes, when we did get busted for shoplifting and sentenced to a day in jail, I served it, because I'm the one that started shoplifting, so I'm still sort of responsible for the idiots in here who think they should pick up all my bad habits. (*I* never would have gotten caught lifting! ;) ) I should say "former bad habits." I've changed most of my bad ways.

But why didn't they try to kick me out or hold me down back when I was doing all that bad stuff? Kicking out just isn't an option very often. Letting someone die in here is, but only if they want to die. Holding back is an option, but they have only rarely tried that with me. Why? I don't know for sure, but as good as I am at getting into trouble, I'm damned near as good at getting out! I think they like and respect that about me.

There's recent stuff in my/our journal about some of my old bad habits and the consequences. I think it starts from the entry titled something like, "Because I'm the one with the Rep."
