It doesn't matter if you're in jail for 1 to life, there are still psychological affects associated with being incarcerated.  The affects are more intrusive if you were brutalized or traumatized before, during, and after the incarceration.  The systems are a vicious circle to deal with and when they are dead set on covering things up, your already almost non-existent self is put under additional stress and your life is not your life any longer, but you are now a victim who has been victimized by the systems.  After these events, you are oftentimes placed on medication due to suffering from other disorders such as post traumatic stress disorder.  Everyone's psyche is different and therefore have different reactions to being victimized, but for myself, it was the worst nightmare of my life.  The vitality and exuberance I had for life no longer exists and it is literally taking my all to remain as positive as possible although I continue to hit brick walls on my quest for justice and planning this rally is draining but I will prevail.  I don't know if I will ever be the same again.  I still scream at night!!!!
