Life as a cat A prisoner will be his 'normal' now much the same way our little lives are 'normal' to us
He would probably struggle more with 'freedom' now.
Believe JB would struggle as would anybody imprisoned for that length of time. Standard.
I personally have an admiration for JB, for clawing away for as long as he has. I know the vast majority don't share the notion.
I only use my experience of meeting many lifers who claim innocence and after a first appeal knock back simply settle into the prison regime, keep their head down,engage with psychology and do the courses with an eventual goal to get out.
JBs whole tariff in 1994, doesn't apply, he's been fighting since day one. Ever since that gulity verdict got announced in 86.
JB has stuck to his stance from day one. And believe me he will have lived the most awkward regime for it.
