"My life after 44 years in prison"

[Sacul]

Just found this shocking video of a man that got into prison in the 70s and got released some time ago. Amazing how he talks with such peace about the past, and all the wasted years - even when he says he misses his family.

That guy is so lovable and inspiring. His childlike appreciation of the conventions that came to be during his time on the inside is so charming.

I find it fascinating that he's more intrigued by peanut butter and jelly in the same jar than smartphones.

Hey this guy tried to kill a police officer - let's make him famous !

Yea I saw this pop up on facebook this morning, funny how he thought people making phonecalls handsfree with earphones in were C.I.A. agents

If that's all you were able to take away from watching this, I feel sorry for you.

As one of the commenters said, I could listen to that dude talk all day. The whole time-machine perspective has always been fascinating to me, and he's a very good narrator for the experience.

Imagine having to adjust to just how much things have changed.

Imagine having to adjust to just how much things have changed.

Reminds me of when Brooks got out of prison in the Shawshank Redemption.

That'd be a great YouTube channel.

I hope his nieces see that, or maybe some of their friends, and look him up.

I was thinking the same.

I met a guy in the program who had a similar experience. He served 33 years for murder, and on his first day out he attended a meeting that happened to be a regular one I went to, a large all men's meeting. He could only wonder at 100 men of a myriad ages and races who were working together out of love to help each other instead of plotting to hurt each other. His gratitude was thick enough for the whole room, it was beyond incredible to experience.

I wonder what it would feel like to someone like him that basically missed the entire computer revolution. I'm guessing that he might not be that fascinated with it because computers were never really relevant to his generation prior to his imprisonment. Other than 50's/60's science fiction shows, the average person's exposure to something like that would have been absolutely minimal. I'm old enough (42) to remember quite well how it was more of an oddity than a regularity for someone to have a computer in their home.
