The guy's imprisoned for 15 years; he's screwed. Assuming that he doesn't cause any trouble and is out in 15 with all of his body parts attached, think of his knowledge of our world. He will have to catch up. How bad is 15 years?

Inventions after 2001: Wireless Bluetooth Headset (2002), Self Parking Car (2003), The Wii (2006), iPhone (2007), Android OS (2007), Hubble Space Telescope (completed 2009), iPad (2010), Kickstarter (crowd-sourced funding, 2010), Google's driverless car (2010), 3-D bioprinter (2010), and more scientific discoveries since then.

Imagine today, having spent 15 years hard labor in North Korea, having no knowledge of IOS, Android OS, No knowledge of Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10, Netflix didn't begin streaming until 2007, and you're trying to get a job as an ex-convict.

Either that or be injured to the point he can't work well. His only hope for income is the book/movie deal he'll probably get.
