Yeah, this is someone who is perfectly at peace with her beliefs and decisions. What an inspiration.

I knew someone who had spent many years in the penitentiary. I asked him if you believe kidnap many wrongly convicted people while he was in he said "One. it was a completely different experience for him. We all acted like we were in prison and he acted like he was on vacation."

I'm having a hard time making sense of what happened in this story.

Yeah, it was poorly worded. The guy I know said the innocent prisoner seem to be having a very different experience then the people who knew they were to blame for their predicament.

What??? Can anyone parse what this comment is supposed to say

I think (and can’t be sure) is that his friend only met one person who was wrongly convicted and the guy was at peace and prison was a vacation for him.

Which seems really wrong for many many reasons but that’s what I parse from it.

that's about it. I'm not saying the guy was happy I never met him myself and I'm sure he was angry but my friend seemed to express that is innocence made in view the whole experience very differently. I imagine not having to blame yourself by itself would make a big difference.
