 your loved one "institutionalized" after prison
My guy will have been in prison for 20 years, if he ends up serving all his time. I was just thinking tonight about when he gets out, "IF" "HOW" and "WILL" he be just that, institutionalized. I am sure that if someone has the right influences in their life it can help with this, but how does one go about "desensetizing" their previous life behind bars? Does it just happen after you have been out a certain amount of time? What helps? What doesn't help. Does anyone else out there worry about this, and how it will affect your relationship once they are released? I know "jokenly" he has told me that all I need to do is ring a bell and he will come running to dinner. Will I trip on him in the middle of the night sleeping on the floor because the down comforter on the bed is just too soft? Seriously, if anyone has been incarcerated and would like to enlighten us with your thoughts, that would be much appreciated, also. . . to those who are waiting for their loved ones to get out. . . have you tallked about this, what you think will happen, how you are going to go about handling the sitution.
CAN THEY COME BACK TO THE REAL WORLD AFTER BEING INSTITUTIONALIZED??? |
