I was sent back to prison while on probation for fines and a technical violation. When you’re on probation, you’re guilty until proven innocent. I had some false allegations made against me by an ex-girlfriend, so I had to sit in jail for three months until I was found not guilty. Had I not been on probation, then it would have been "you’re innocent until proven guilty." I lost 3 months of my life, I lost an apartment, and a job. Of course, when I came home my spirit was broken after 3 months and I couldn’t pay my fines and I stopped reporting, so I ended up having to go back for a whole year.
