"Do you feel a sense of having lost life, having been locked up for so long?" --- J.K. of N.J.

No. At least, not anymore. I used to, when I was younger and first imprisoned (at the age of 17) for forcing a 14-year-old boy to have oral sex with me at the point of an unloaded "toy" gun (a crime for which I had no idea would get me sent to prison for over 20 years). Now I realize that "life" isn't what you make of it, it's what it makes of you! So, there is no sense of loss, just a lingering sense of injustice.
