Just two days in and the families have noticed weird behavior from him. Coming home from prison is a truly marvelous thing; you can get back to the way you lived before without the bars in the way. But is this always the case? Not all the time. Depending on how open and emotionally able your incarcerated loved ones is there might be some things, scenarios that that happened in prison that your loved one has carried back with him when he come out. It could be a case of "You can take the prisoner out of jail but you can't take the jail out of the prisoner" kind of thing. A quick Virginia prison calls can't cover what is being hidden from you as you only hear their voice. With all the reports of bullying, unfair treatments and breakouts that happening are you still sure that your loved one is still not suffering? Take a look at one of these situations.
Over Zealous or Reactions to the Most Simple Things
Sure, your loved one has been gone for a long time and one might think its just a normal reaction. But when he passionately drinks waters like it's the last drink on earth or gushed profusely on the amount of food that normally is just less or reacts violently when one disturbs their sleep, this could be a sign that these basic needs are withdrawn to them or not given enough. Couple this with a sharp decline on weight and this could be a wary of concern that you have been privy to what's really going on. This also does not only apply to tangible things. If you're loved one has become too talkative to the point excessiveness and seems to be comfortable to be talking by himself like any other conversation and seems comfortable with the idea, this is a point of concern.
Also if your loved one reacts to the simplest of things with fear such as a bell ringing, dogs barking, the sound of a speeding car, laughter or a child's cry you might want to talk to you loved ones what's going on and spill what really happened to them in prison. Also seeking psychological help is a must.
