Reply #29: i'm thinking the guards and other prisoners would not even know

As far as they would be concerned, he would be in prison for a technical violation. Be that as it may, I am encouraged by Bob coming forward to participate here and by his thoughts that he may be eligible for expungement.

I have posted more in my response to his note, offering suggestions for how he might be able to start earning money.

Keep in mind, when we offer advice, we start where we are standing and give our thoughts based on what we have seen others and ourselves do in the past. Being a small-time "sex offender" is just not necessarily that big of a deal in the south, where I live. When it comes down to brass tacks, most people and most prisoners know that there are all sorts of accusations thrown around and that many guilty people walk and many not-so-guilty get tossed in jail, and it all has to be taken with a grain of salt. Especially in a custody case. But clearly if your area is in the grip of a full-blown hysteria, then you must be much more cautious.
