Don't have any friends who have had any situations like this so not really sure where to look for advice.
White collar crime, not anything violent

I've had a couple of members of my Father's side of the family in jail or prison, one or two doing serious time for some serious crimes.
To me it would depend on two things, what are they in for (how much does that bother me morally/ethically) and how close was I to begin with.
I wasn't close so it meant nothing to me. I did go visit an Uncle once with my Dad, but only because he asked me to go with him.
My brother was arrested once for a pot possession and spent some time in the lockup (90 days I think). I did go visit him, and wrote him a couple of times.
