free breath

The first deep breath a person takes after they are released from prison or jail. The breath releases the anxiety and tension of life behind bars, but the breath is not really free. The person knows it’s just the start of trying to survive in life as an ex-con. prisoner, ex-con, felon, prison, jail, the big house, prison sentence, 25 to life, life sentence, death row, free breathe, freedom, incarceration, behind bars, locked up, lock down, up the river, free air

You have no idea what it felt like when I took that first free breath after 6 years behind bars. Oh no I do bro, I got out last week. It is an amazing feeling.
