One of the most miserable and lonely places in the world is in a prison cell. The reason not being because you are locked away in a space the size of closet, away from society, but because you have so much time to think. In the outside world, you have resources to help make decisions and can move around to see for yourself when making choices. Being locked away physically also has the utmost mental effect on even a stable mind.
One of the hardest decisions is figuring out exactly what path you will take once released from prison. This is vital because essentially the release date is the first day of the rest of your new life. The main character must make this decision but has to use his heart to guide him.
