After years in detention, some will see the light of day and eventually be released. However, despite regaining their freedom, life does not bounce back as easily as you could imagine. Ex-detainees often leave prison having developed anger management issues, social interaction phobias and fragile mental states. Being separated from their communities and families for long periods of time results in their seclusion and withdrawal from society. For families involved, particularly children who have grown up without a father and mothers who have become independent of their husbands, reintegrating becomes a difficult process with roles having changed in the household. And to top it all off, their new found status as a terrorist or terror suspect means they are shunned from social circles, find it difficult to gain employment, struggle to support their families and fail to regain any sense of normality.
