All of them have had a profound impact on me, being deprived of my freedom, staying with prisoners and directly to the excesses in jail.
First of all, it has taught me to appreciate and importance the things that I have always taken lightly- family and friends, books and internet, or even Qawwali and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Second, I generally be able to trust fellow humans less, because hardly anyone in jail tells the truth about themselves, and because of this people doubt. In jail, the worst side of human nature comes out. On the other hand, it has made me more sensitive to many types of injustice and isolation.
My conversation with most poor convicts and under consideration here has also enriched my understanding. As I spent time in various jails with people from Assam and then Delhi and Haryana, my thinking has certainly expanded, and I have been better equipped to express the issues that I want to raise.
Another change is that I have got a clear view of the price of time. This is a bit contradictory, because there is a lot of free time in the jail. However, a five -minute call with the family makes you realize a five -minute value. Second, after spending five years in jail, the question arises that what has I achieved in these five years, which is an important part of my life? What have I been able to read and learn? How efficient am I am? Was I more or less efficient when I was out?
These questions have brought a certain change in the attitude of time.
Finally, my understanding about law, legal process and its impact on prisoners and large society has become quite widespread. I have read thousands of pages of legal documents: decisions, orders, petitions, codes, acts, chargesheets etc. I found that computer science studies helped me in favor related to algorithm, logical and syntax, while my education helped me to find and solve semantics. When I come out, I will have a lot to say on it.
