Adjusting to life after prison can be tough, particularly if you are Amish.

A couple convicted of hate crimes for hair-cutting attacks in Ohio is finding themselves in that spot, according to a story by the Reuters news service.

Amish farmer Raymond Miller developed a taste for Mountain Dew soda and earned a high school equivalency degree during almost a year in prison for his part in forcibly cutting the hair of relatives, including his own parents, Reuters reported.

Prosecutors said the 2011 attacks were designed to humiliate people who disagreed with leaders of a breakaway sect of which Miller was a member.

Miller also told Reuters he wondered if he should get a pool table after learning to play in prison.

His wife, Kathryn was introduced to yoga and step classes while behind bars.

A resident of Bergholz, in eastern Ohio, Miller, 29, is on probation and must make daily phone calls to a probation officer and wear an electronic ankle monitor, Reuters reported.

Another thing both of the Millers had to adjust to in prison was free time, something the Amish do not have a lot of at home.

“I read, played softball and played pool. I liked pool, and I was pretty good at it,” Mr. Miller said in the Reuters story.
