What a really, truly, fascinating read. One generally visualises the inner workings of any prison system as a 24x7 rough and tumble affair. Without knowing anything about their crimes it's nice to know that they've been able to achieve a bit of inner peace. I would like to think that the victims have as well, because living with negativity just breeds further contempt and negativity.
The prison system is designed to be 'rehabilitation'. Very often that isn't the case, but it's nice when we can get at least part of the way there.
Thank you for your comment. I know that in Abu's case, the surviving victim has forgiven him and did so in court last week.
These two men have been more than rehabilitated, they have gained what many of us dream of, a freedom of their souls and unending love and compassion for their fellow men. Happiness. Remarkable.
