Life After Prison Isn’t Really ‘Freedom’

Imagine finally getting out of prison, but still feeling trapped. That’s what a lot of Black men in Philly are dealing with—anxiety, PTSD, and a constant sense of being watched, even years after release. The trauma from inside doesn’t just disappear, and strict parole rules make it hard to reconnect with friends or even find a job. Some guys say they barely leave the house. The struggle is real, and it’s way deeper than most people realize. #Health #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters
