He gets newspapers that are three weeks old. I could go on but you get the picture. The adjustment is really hard to make when they come out and that's part of why the rate of recidivism is so high.

i don't know how he's doing. i hope he's doing well. i haven't seen him since christmas eve, when i was 14. it's sad because unlike my brother, i can remember how he was before he started drinking & using. but he's a totally different person. he likes to send nasty letters to us now, on occasion. the last correspondence i had with him was a couple christmases ago when he sent me and my brother a picture of him with his new family. good riddance.
