<P> In Family Reunion, she violated the terms of house arrest by taking off her house arrest bracelet but was given the opportunity to avoid jail by becoming a foster mother . </P> <P> In Meet the Browns, Madea was stopped by police as a normal traffic stop, only to refuse to pull over (fearing that she'll be sent to jail again), which leads her into a high - speed car chase with several law enforcement officials and news helicopters . </P> <P> In Goes to Jail, Madea was about to get sent to jail, but was reluctantly released by Judge Mablean after learning the arresting officers did not read the Miranda rights warning when she was arrested (as the officers claimed that Madea was fighting with them), so she finally admits that her license was suspended indefinitely (implying that her license was suspended when she was 30 years old) and also gets ordered to anger management counseling, making it the very last opportunity for her to avoid jail . She, however, began driving as soon as Cora neglected her daughterly duties . Madea's brother Joe (also played by Perry) refers to her as a "po - po ho", meaning someone who is a professional at evading law enforcement . </P> <P> In A Madea Christmas, Madea confides in her niece Eileen that she sold "trees"; when Eileen asks if they were Christmas trees, Madea replies that "when you smoke' em, they make you feel like it's Christmas", implying that she once was a marijuana dealer . </P>
