Otis Johnson had been in prison for 44 years, having spent more of his life behind bars than not. After being locked away for the attempted murder of a police officer at the age of 25, when he was released he was 69 years old, and the world looked notably different.
Al Jazeera released a short, 6-minute film of Otis offering his thoughts on how the world has changed since he was a young man, and his reactions to technological advancements such as iPhones and Bluetooth headsets are interesting to say the least.
