This Man spent 68 years in prison, when he came out he felt like he was in the 'future world'



Joseph Ligon of the United States was sentenced by a court to life in prison when he was 15 years old. 
Joseph was convicted of two counts of murder, robbery and assault in Philadelphia. In 1953, the court sentenced Joseph to life in prison.

Not once was he released on parole

Joseph was never released on parole after serving his sentence in 1953. However, he always denied the allegations against him. He was charged with stabbing to death Charles Pitts and Jackson Ham and injuring six others.

The most incarcerated accused in jail

Joseph has become the longest-serving juvenile offender in a U.S. prison after 68 years in prison. Joseph was released after completing his sentence last week.

This challenge against Joseph

According to Joseph after his release from prison, the outside world is completely new to him and he knows nothing about this world. He had never seen such high-rise buildings before and all this is very new to him. They cannot adapt themselves to this new world and the prison in which they were imprisoned is now a museum.

Saddened by the loss of family members

Joseph had expressed a desire to meet his family after his release from prison but most of those he knew were now dead. Joseph was devastated to learn of the family's death.
