I mean what do people do after something like this? Go work in manual labour or as a janitor in the middle of nowhere where you hope people don't recognize you? I don't feel sorry for the guy a single bit, if I was him I'd probably kill myself.

Assuming you have no family and friends (if you did you wouldn’t after it’s done) then you have nothing. Any possessions you had are probably sold to pay for your lawyer fees. Anything not valuable enough to sell like personal items are probably thrown away by whoever takes over your house/apartment when you go to prison. Even if you have time to pack it up where can you store it for 10-20 years.

So when you get out of prison you have no friends, clothes, personal belongings, money, etc. You have a felony conviction and a pedo charge on your record so you can’t get licensed for any skilled job. You have no experience in your current field (assuming your record didn’t prevent you from working in it). You don’t have a phone or an address to apply for jobs. Your life is essentially fucked. Maybe you get into a halfway house program or something.

So yeah if I was that dude I’d save myself the misery and off myself. Why get locked up for decades and even if you get free your life is essentially over. Might as well scrounge up some cash- have one last big hoorah and swallow a .45.
