I the article “After Prison, Then What?”, Mikael Carlsson talks about what happens to inmates after they are released from prisons. He says that many inmates struggle realizing with the idea that they are going to be free no matter how much time they have served. He also mentions that they are use to being locked up so it is hard for them to fit in with society as soon as they are released. Since it is hard for them to fit in with society, they tend to go back to their old ways and end up in prison once again. I would say that their “prison” is taking freedom for granted by not learning from their mistakes. To deal with this some inmates join groups in order to help them change as an individual and see everything from more than one perspective. These types of groups are similar to the one that Newton joined which transformed him tremendously and freed him from his “prisons”.
