Daniel kisses his niece, Danielle, after awaking her in their new apartment in Evanston, IL on Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Of his new life, Daniel said, "Freedom means that now I realize how much was taken away from me. Am I really free? I’m not in prison. But there is so much going on in my mind, so much that I don’t know out here. It's like I’m a newborn baby learning life. It's frustrating, but I would rather have this frustration than the alternative."
