My closest brother, whom is 5 years older than me, went to prison. He was 17 years old when he went in.
He has served a full 17 year sentence. I just got a call that he is at my moms house, finally a free man.
I'm at work (last day before a long break) and flipping out to see him. I knew this was coming but...whoa, am I excited to see him.
MERRY FUSKING CHRISTMAS SOULSTRUT!

    Congrats man, it's gotta feel good. I never thought just being around my family would feel so good, but that's what's up right now, and it's great. And it's only been a year since I've seen these guys!

    Wi-five!

    17 years away from the outside world is hard. Things and people change. Hope your bro can adjust to the outside world and maintain.

    It's a tough time to be coming out and trying to rebuild a life right now, but I wish your brother and you and your family luck.

    Seventeen years. That's hard to even contemplate.

    Congrats to you and your family. Here's to new beginnings.

    And for what it's worth, I'm close with a few people who did many years in prison (one who spent time in Huntsville), and came out and were able to readjust and fully integrate into society again. My sincerest best wishes to your brother. Sounds like he has a very supportive family in place, which a great first step.

    As you know dude, we're in Tejas n shit. He did some of his time in Huntsville and a couple of other places in the state. He was moved three times overall.


    Its been a lot of fun having him back. So much has changed since he got locked up and being around with him to enjoy those new experiences have been humbling.
