Blog assignment #5

In going to be interviewing my cousin Jermaine James. My family calls him JJ, JJ is a 46 year old male who spent most of his life locked away in federal prison. Ever since JJ was younger head been in and out of trouble for drugs and robbery. My guess is the judge got tired of seeing his face and you know what they say third times the charm and gave him 20 years in prison. My interview is based off of him because he's been locked up since I was a baby and now that he's been released its my opportunity to get to know him better. He's been home for 2 or 3 years now and I still know very little about him.
From what I can see he has two really caring parents. My aunt and uncles are free spirits but that can be a negative and positive effect on how he grew up. He has 4 other siblings 2 older brothers, a younger sister and baby brother. The oldest brother been the jail but always came home and his second oldest brother has been in jail his entire life and does not plan on coming home. In fact him and JJ got arrested together and that's when they were both sent away. Now that JJ is home I just want to get a sense of where his head is. Looking at the man I see in front of me at family affairs it's honestly hard to even believe he did prison time or committed a crime. I wanna figure where his life took its turn and what does he see for himself in the future as far as him adjusting to society.

Questions:
1: has it been difficult adjusting to society?
2: what caused your life to change the way it did ?
3: where do you see yourself in 5 years ?
