Bit late but that's pretty spot on. I'm lucky that I'm european and my family supports me after getting out so it could definitely be a lot worse.

I'm in a benefits program to get me back to work while I struggle with an injury and that's something I should've done 2 months earlier.

Also, I weirdly find myself wanting people to ask about it more because there's so much I could still talk about.

Well, shoot. I'll start with the questions if you want. :)

What's the most surprising thing you found out from imprisonment? Or what stood out in general as the best/worst/funniest/saddest/most interesting. Any favorite projects you can talk about that you worked on inside?

What’s the most surprising thing you found out from imprisonment?

Depends on what you mean by surprising.. Guess the fact that I managed to survive depression and get out somewhat better I guess?

Or what stood out in general as the best/worst/funniest/saddest/most interesting.

Generally the fact that prison is useless in 99% of all cases. Stick some criminals in a hole together, take away most of what makes their life worthwile outside (home, job, in my case my phone and thus google account so my entire online life so far), and somehow be surprised that all they did was make connections and learn how to be better criminals. Great plan all around.
