I doubt it. The more I think about it the more I think AC has a shock coming to him once he passes 21. So far his experience of the criminal justice system is the relatively kid gloves approach given to a juvenile, where its always someone's job to worry about his welfare and what makes him tick, social workers, psychologists etc. Once he passes into the adult system he will be just another lifer, and nobody cares what makes them tick.
Such efforts as there are in the adult system for rehabilitation, and they're inadequate to begin with, are all concentrated on shorter term prisoners who will definitely be released some day. Lifers take a back seat. He will find himself being treated as a minor cog in a big wheel where he's shunted from place to place to fit in with the prison routine. Obscurity, boredom and loneliness are his future, not merry hell and sharing fantasies.
