An Amazing Story of Perseverance
Otis Johnson went to jail at the age of 25. When he got out at 69,
he rejoined a world that was starkly different from the one he remembered. Al Jazeera English tells his story in this clip, after meeting Otis Johnson at a New York City shelter for ex-convicts.

Remember the words of Andy, in The Shawshank Redemption, about hope: “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”
Eventually Otis is reunited with his family, reestablishing part of his support network in the outside world. I wish him the very best.
