Oh god yes. Many times.

That is the exact thought I had upon viewing the post.  Fortunately they didn't inquire as to how long.

Fortunately, you don't have to state how long your, (tacitly admitted), incarceration was, nor what you were in for.  The reason I responded to your remarks was only insofar as it relates to possibly 'getting religion' while you were incarcerated.

Only to teach classes for a substance abuse program.

Secular or, religiously-based classes?

I have never been to jail or prison, however I worked security at a halfway house for a year and a half.  I feel bad for what the people who went to prison experienced while there, however they committed the crime so I have no sympathy for them.

Asking how long means something different.  There are internal nuances that I just realized may not be obvious to most, so my comment might seem strange to those who are unfamiliar with the subject.  Your speculation as to the source is incorrect, though.

There's very little "nuance" between answering "yes" or "no", however.  Even if found not guilty, if they put someone in the slammer for ten minutes, that person was in jail.

Okay, so not in long enough to 'get religion' and that arose out of some other event/series of events which were unspecified.  The was more of a sidebar than a integral component of other argumentation.

Here's another sidebar, apropos of nothing; once you make one more post, your post-count will hit 666.  No doubt that's merely an insignificant coincidence.

Yes but it was a minor traffic thing. Never for anything serious.

They jailed you on a minor traffic violation?  Why?

[HomlessGurl]

I can gladly say I've never been to jail, but did come close to getting my parents jailed for shoplifting when I was a toddler. lol

[Storm61115]

[ajami]

I wont lie been in jail couple of times but nothing serious.  I don't drink and don't do drugs.  I am in my 40s and last year in may had my first drink in my life.

I have never been in jail, but have visited a family member and it was not a pleasant place to see.
I would never want to be incarcerated, ever!
It was sad to see so many people incapable of living healthy, productive lives.
