like most people, i tend to avoid participating in activities that will land me in jail or prison. that is something that i would rather not experience first hand. regardless, i can help but wonder how someone would adjust to a normal life again once they have been in prison for an extended period of time, for example ten years. can you imagine being locked up for ten years and then being realized into a world that has most likely changed significantly in the time you were in prison. i can't imagine all of the things you would have to adjust to just based on the advancements in technology alone. most technology is completely updated and sometimes unrecognizable in the time span of 10 years. think about how much cell phones have changed just in the last five or six years. there have been four different versions of the iphone in about the same amount of time. of course there won't only be technological changes, but things such as fashion trends, cultural trends, societal trends, etc are all capable of changing in this amount of time. if i were going to prison tomorrow and i wasn't going to get out for another ten years, i wouldn't even know what to expect to see when i got out with how fast the world changes.
