Dump him now and be done with it.
Unless of course you have been in prison?
Then stay with him, but do society a favor and don't reproduce.

Whew... that's harsh. Just because he's in jail does not make him worth the world leaving him to his own devices. Yes, he's obviously done something wrong and should be punished justly for it. But does that warrant the judgment of "lowlife?"
And as a member of the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program, I've seen plenty of wonderful children who have come from families where one or both parents have been in jail at some point. They should not be written off because of the mistakes of their parents.
Bbro, keep your chin up and your eyes open. For now, you're doing what you feel is right, and that's honorable. Fight the good fight until you can't anymore, and when it's all said and done, you'll have no one to answer to but yourself.
