I can't even imagine how it feels to have no control over one's life for 5 years. I can hope it was awful enough that he never ever wants to go back. Onwards and upwards indeed.

I've met a couple young guys via AA and they were felons looking for work, so I offered them laborer positions with my construction company(after getting to know them a bit).. One is back in jail for something and the other is one of my hardest workers. Doesn't complain(to me) about a thing and seems to really be turning his life around for his fiance and kids. I hope your son seizes the opportunity he's been given. It really is like being a grown-up again. 'Adulting' and all that comes with it kept me in the bottle.
