"Son if you get arrested I ain't coming to get you out". That's the talk my dad gave me.

The message was clear who's side he was on. So do the right thing. I suspect there are some hard core parents both black and white who still get real with their sons.

The words of my father were a little different. Somewhere along the lines of “you better just stay in jail because it will not be safe when you get out”.

This. My dad told me that jail could save my life because it MIGHT give him enough time to cool down before he gets to me.

The difference is we all had fathers that cared..Taught right and wrong..

My dad told us three boys - if you're man enough to get in trouble by yourself, you're man enough to get out of trouble by yourself. Don't call me.
Not one of us have ever seen the inside of a jail cell. We're now 69, 68 and 61 years-old. His words resonated.

Actually my dad always told me he was coming to get me if I ever got into trouble. It was my mom that said she wasn’t coming

I never called my parents from jail. It was always big sister. She's say I could sit there by I always knew she'd have me out. I've never spent two nights in a row. I've spent one in a row several times though.

Raised by a single Mom and these were her words too and she meant it

My dad’s speech was “Call me and I’ll come get you, but just remember you got rights in that jail cell you ain’t gonna have once I get you out.”

My parents too.
I remember watching 11 alive news when I was maybe 10 interviewing the mother of a kid who hacked up a couple people in Athens. She was crying that her ‘baby’s innocent’. My mom turned to me and said she let me rot in prison.

Your father and my father talked the same language, I speak it now myself

I remember reading Bo Jackson's autobiography way back in the '80s. He tells a story of how in his early teens he started skipping school and getting in trouble with the police. So his grandmother started walking him to the bus stop with a shotgun because she told him she'd rather see him dead than watch another of her grandkids go to prison. Even in my mid-teens I thought that was a powerful and moving story. It doesn't take a village but sometimes it takes a granny with a shotgun and the resolve to have her way. Of course, in 2020 Granny would be the villain of that story.

My dad would tell me “son, you get one phone call. Don’t waste it on me”

Lots of F ups on here. My dad raised me right and never even imagined I would go to jail...and he was right.

I tell my son that I will come to get him out if possible but it make take me a day or two to roll up the pennies I’ve saved for his bail.
That first night is on you, son.

This, all my life.
I've been in twice both no more than a night, but paid both times.
I guess that is why I was never told much when it happened; I was in my early 20s paying for all my expenses and living on my own.
