Depending on what you mean by “locked away for 20 years”, you may never be “on the same page” as society.

You can still live a meaningful life, and you can still be a part of society. But being “on the same page” might require you to focus on helping other victims of heinous crimes.

One who has been through the darkness can help by being a guide to others who are still in or recently emerged from that same darkness.
