For a small child, the world is both scary and exciting. Everything is new, and mom and dad are running around, doing their best to teach as well as protect.

Serving a prison sentence requires adaptability to surroundings, fellow inmates, and daily routines, leaving the past “normalcy” of the outside world behind. However, once the inmate is released back into that outside world, they often realize that they are still captives, regarded as “other” in a society they no longer recognize.
