I'm not an attorney and I live in California, so maybe I am missing something here. In California, the "duty to provide personal care for a dependent" exempts one from jury duty. I breast fed my 2 kids and was called for jury duty in the meantime. I responded to the questionnaire honestly and was excused from jury duty every time. My most recent excuse was granted when I responded truthfully that I am a single mom who works part time during the hours my kids are in school and didn't want to hire someone to pick up my kids so I could be in jury duty. My point is that before you just go along with jury duty, be honest about your situation. What happened to you was, to a certain extent, your own doing by not speaking up earlier. Good for you!

It is unfortunate you were divorced. Instead take responsibilty for your choices in life. What happend to educating your self while you were home, and think that if this relationship ended you are entitled to everything. Your husband felt that he needed to make a career for himself and now he is well off you want to punish him for having this dedication? Dont get me wrong there are cases in which the help is required. I feel that most of these cases undermine the average income earning families as so the divorcee and the divorcer end up losing. Not to mention the kids. So quit whinning and take control of your life, stop letting your circumstances rule your life. ......A loving parent...... Why do you make yourself a victim.

However, putting someone in that kind of environment to punish them for DUI - or other non-violent offenses - seems ludicrous to me. As a citizen, I much rather would have had the state force Casey to perform some valuable community service for a month than spend five days in there.

It's stange as you write this, that more and more people are incarcerated in this country or attached to the system in the form of probation or parole. You made a mistake and were man enough to take your punishment. A you did what a lot of people would not do. The thing is, ANY of us can end up in the slammer, be it a bad decision or whatever. While this may be no consolation, at least you saw the light at the end of the tunnel. A lot of these guys you served briefly with, especially the younger ones may never taste freedom again. When I watch programs like "Lockup" and similar ones, It makes me stop and think how precious my own personal freedom really is. John, nice judgemental reply. Let me guess..you have never made a mistake in your life, right? Powerful writing and very moving, “Casey”.
