text: Depends on if you are reformed to society or not. Since you've been more than once, I assume you didn't reform yourself the first time. I think people that have been incarcerated have the ability to reform their lives and be productive people in society, but it has to be a concious effort on the persons part to wanna change. I wouldn't hold it against you unless you repeatedly made the same mistakes again. Like the above comment, it also depends on the crime.
