Still working on the next blog post, but took time out to summarize John’s life. To help me I listed out all the dates of John’s felony arrests (since his first juvenile arrest), convictions, release dates from prison, start and end dates of probation, and the periods in between when he was free (i.e. not under judicial supervision). Once you add it all up it’s a pretty sad tale.
John was born on January 6, 1971. Counting until May 10, 2014 he’s lived 15,830 days. Of those he’s spent 629 under indictment, 5,332 in jail and 1,460 on probation. Pulling out the 4,478 days he lived before turning 13, that leaves only 3,661 days in his life that he’s been free.

If we combine the days under indictment, jail and probation under one category, and separate out the days when he was a child, we can summarize his life so far:
For a more meaningful analysis though let’s just look at John’s life since he turned 13. After all, he wasn’t in a position to get into much trouble when he was an infant or very young child. Looking at this part of his life we see he’s spent almost half of it in jail, and only a third of it free.
Summarizing, it looks like this:
Oh, and this includes just his felonies--if I included all the misdemeanors it would look even worse.
Sure screams “fit father,” doesn’t it?
