Why??

I just want to know why it is so taboo to admit that you have a loved one in prison?? I guess my head is just still reeling from my moment at dinner earlier this evening and the tinge of shame I felt for admitting my husband was incarcerated. So freaking what? SO FREAKING WHAT? Humans are not infallible! We make mistakes, we learn lessons, we accept consequences. Is a sin not a sin? I mean that is my opinion, but people act in incomprehensible ways all the time with no repercussions and they are not looked upon with distaste and disgust. I believe in justice, I believe in order, I believe in forgiveness, but I do not believe in hatred, judgement, and a lack of compassion.
