You won't get an honest answer, but it's worth a shot to ask:

1. So what are your intentions with regard to your bf when he gets out?
2. What are his plans? Does he have a job lined up? Does he seem as though he wants to get his shite together this time? Does he have an older family member or friend who can mentor him or help to get him some steady work?
3. Bf is key here. It may seem prejudiced, but I tend to think that once someone's crossed that threshold of getting thrown inside, he won't hesitate to take what he wants if he gets hungry.

Let me address the b/f questions - I know a limited amount. I've met him. He's an idiot. Not worried about him taking anything. Here's about all I know - I've asked her several times about him.

He has 2 brothers in jail/prison right now - don't know what they're in for.

He asked her once if she would give up her kids so he and she could spend a year together alone - yeah, that's f'd up and I told her that.

Dude is a typical petty criminal/idiot imo. Not worried about him at all.

He helps her out a lot - not the type to sit around and drink all day. Quiet type, kind of stays to himself.

That's really all I know about the guy. I asked her one day how she felt towards him. Said she was in love with him - that's all I know. Women love the bad boys - no secret there.

She's basically stuck on stupid with the guy - I basically told her she's a grown woman and she has to deal with the consequences.

That's all I know.
