Also, instead of allowing me to work and make payments I was basically made a burden to the tax payers who had to support me, in addition to the child I was unable to support myself.
This bugs me. You seem to make a lot of excuses for yourself and try to paint the government in a bad light but you were already a burden.
You had previously committed a crime: writing bad checks. As in multiple checks.
You did not complete the sentence for your crime.
You had failed to pay child support necessitating tax payer support for your child. (based upon your comment I just quoted)
You mentioned previously that you were trying to get on disability in which case you would still be a burden on the state.
You didn't pay your child support which required the state to go after you.
I feel like when you get out of prison you will use prison as an excuse to continue to fail to pay child support. I have a relative by marriage (step brother of my wife) who wrote one bad check when he was 20 and went to prison.
He has used that as an excuse for 25ish years. "I can't find work because I was a felon." "People make fun of me for being a felon." etc. Guess what he is doing right now? Applying for SSA disability and for Medicaid. Surprise, surprise.
I have found that people like you and him who make these constant rationalizations for their own crappy behavior will never do anything and will be a burden on the state forever. Prison just makes it easier to keep an eye on you.
edit: Just to make an important point here. The only information we have on the OP's record comes from the OP. For all we know he has a couple robberies on his record too. I tried to find more information but his name does not come up on the Missouri Dept of Correction's prisoner search.
