I've got a mixture of friends from my childhood in Liverpool. Some did good and some didn't.
Often joked about starting the next web 2.0 application for ex-cons called FiendsReunited.co.uk.

"Well, my stepson was murdered a few weeks before Christmas."
"What?!"
"Yeah, he'd been selling the duty-free booze and fags on some gang's patch. They warned him but he didn't stop, so they shot him."
"That's terrible... What about your son?"
"He's in prison. Been inside just over two years now."
"What for?"
"Attempted murder..."

As I've joked with before to many people if I want to meet up with old friends from school I just need to find out the visiting hours at Barlinnie Prison in Glasgow.
Just heard on the news that yet another person as I was at school with was stabbed to death tonight, we weren't friends but lived in the same street years ago. No loss to society anyway...
From that form year at school the tally looks like 6 murdered and 8 jailed for murder, not related I assume.
