    There is no debtors prison so relax. Just include it in the bankruptcy. Just remember the bankruptcy will stay on all 3 credit bureaus for 10 years. As you learned, never agree to do a favor for friends or family members.

    Your spelling should be a felony.

    BANKRUPTCY.

    You will not go to prison. Ask your lawyer.
