Yeah, but I know a few people that have been incarcerated in Canada, one that was in 5 years in provincial prison, it damaged him in so many ways, he was so ####ed after getting out and he shared with me some of his painful stories.
Its torture, and this is a guy who had a short sentence, sure some guys adjust and can live the best they can, but you can never take away the feeling of being in good with no hope of leaving ever, its hell, no matter how much you adjust to it.
DID ANYONE SEE SHAWSHANK
