Maybe. Inmates are surviving their bid anyway they can. If their family disowns them as happens quite often, an inmate will turn to new companionship. Is it going last beyond the bid?

Regardless of whether the charges are fully accurate or the situation is more complicated than the paperwork suggests, sending photos of children to someone housed on a charge involving minors is not going to end well for anyone involved.
