Being deprived of my freedom, living with prisoners and witnesses of prisoners of prisoners, with the first hand, had a profound impact on me.
First of all, it has appreciated and valued me that I gave – family and friends, books and internet, or even Qawwali and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Secondly, I am commonly able to rely less on fellow humans, due to the fact that in jail, hardly anyone speaks of the truth about themselves, and it makes another doubt. The gel brings out the worst side of human nature. On the other hand, it has made me more sensitive to various forms of injustice and isolations.
My conversation with most poor culprits and undertriate has also enriched my understanding. As I have spent time in various jails with the people of Assam and then Delhi and Haryana, my horizons have certainly widen, and I am better equipped for more widespread articulation of issues I want to raise.
Another change is that the value of time has been brought in the appropriate perspective. This is a slightly reversal because someone has very free time in the jail. But, first of all, five minutes with family make you realize a five-minute value. Secondly, this question arises in five years in jail – what have I achieved in these five years, which is finally an important part of my life? What can I read and learn? How skilled I am? Was I more or less efficient when I was out?
These questions have led to a certain change in the attitude of time. Finally, my understanding of laws, legal process and its influence on prisoners and large society is quite widespread. I have read thousands of pages of legal documents: decisions, orders, petitions, code, code, act, charge sheet etc. I found that my training in computer science helped with algorithm, logical and syntax, while my learning in historical studies helped me to discover and disintegrate semenics. When I come out, there will be a lot to say on it.
