Here's what happens: everyone who gets out of jail instantly forgets about everyone in jail. I'm exaggerating for effect, but it's mostly true. My brain has done some sort of self-preservation thing and I've only been out for 6 months and I can't remember most of what happened over the 8 years I did inside. I sued while I was in there for dozens of things connected to solitary confinement. For instance, for detainees in county jails it has been ruled to be illegal to punish them before their in-jail trial for the infraction. I lost the court case, then I lost it again in the appeals court. They ruled the opposite - they said that detainees can be punished for any reason, any time, without trial. Remember - detainees have never been convicted of a crime. I've never been convicted of one myself, except a traffic ticket about 20 years ago.
