Prison Pete
Tuesday, January 23, 2018
Free Man
I got a surprise phone call from Pete recently. I hadn't heard from him in almost two years.
Pete was released on parole this month from the NY State prison system where he has been an inmate for the past 15 years, after serving 10 years in Federal prison. He was not scheduled to be released by NY until 2019, so this was unexpected and it happened very suddenly.
Pete is now a free man, but serving parole and subject to whatever restrictions that entails. I don't know what he plans to do next, but being turned loose in 2018 when your last experience in the free world was 1995 must be a little like Rip Van Winkle waking up after his long sleep. Work, home, friends and family all gone, and the world unrecognizable.

Reading about his transition, once settled of course, would be interesting. Good luck with new found, sorta, freedom.
