I suspect that most parents would wish to spare their offspring the ignominy of time in pokey.
Ultimately - right or wrong - the instinct of a parent is to protect their children, a protection that Levi not unreasonably took for granted from his father.
How devastated he must have been when it was withheld and he was deprived of the safety of the parental home. and sent to prison instead.
No wonder he harbours a grudge.
Should he relent after all this time? I don't know.
To arrive at a meaningful conclusion you really had to be there. - but I stand ready to be enlightened.

Well, I guess we're only getting one side of this story. Could be a case of his father having gone through a lot with a young and out of control Levi and thought maybe he needed some more serious consequences or it could be that he just didn't care about him. We'll probably never know the truth
