“Wow, he’s four years older than me.”

I remember 1974 very well beause we moved that year. Can’t imagin being in prison all those years. What a waste.

One of my renters worked in the prison system and was writing a book about how young men sentanced to life in prison felt after 10 years
He said at first they said it felt like a joke that they would be out in a few years..then it really hit them and many had serious regret later on but too late
