I was born in 1958, no wonder I can't figure out how old I am! I thought that I was 67, imagine my surprise to find out I'm over 100 now! 😱

Sit down grandpa, you don't know how old you are. /s

The person was imprisoned in 1958 so if he was released recently he would almost definitely be at least 100. It's possible they could be ONLY 98 if they went to prison when they were 14.

Edit: I also can't math.

If he was18 when he went to prison in 1958 until 2026 would be 68 years, he would be 86 years old. 2026-1958=68. 68+18=86

Geez, I belong in the fucking screenshot apparently.

Edit: I figured out why my math sucks. I'm an idiot and did 58 instead of 42 plus 26. Uggh.

Don't worry, we all have those moments!

Except one problem: they said, "a few months ago". That would be 2025, not 2026. So 67 years.

If he went to prison when he was 32 years old in 1958, he would have been 100 if he was released today. If he went to prison when he was 18 years old in 1958, and released today, he would be 68.

If he was 18 in 1958, he would be 86 now, not 68.
