After Prison
Qassem Al-Nasser was left without his Jordanian nationality which was withdrawn after the accusations of the revolution plan. It was not until the General Director of the Civil Affairs Directorate returned the nationality to the members of the Free Officers Movement saying that if you were not Jordanians, who would be. Afterwards, Al-Nasser worked in the Council of Construction for a couple of years, before the Director General of the Public Security Directorate Major General Sharif Mohammad Hashem asked Qassem Al-Nasser to return to the Army. Prime Minister Wasfi al-Tal managed to return Al-Nasser to the Public Security Directorate, where he became the deputy Director General of the Public Security Directorate. Thereafter, King Hussein issued his Royal decree appointing Qassem Al-Nasser as the Director General of the Civil Defence Directorate with the rank of Major General. He continued in this post until his retirement from military services, he then refused further posts considering that it was about time to deal with his own business.

Famous quotes containing the word prison:
“Oh who is that young sinner with the handcuffs on his wrists?
And what has he been after that they groan and shake their fists?
And wherefore is he wearing such a conscience-stricken air?
Oh they’re taking him to prison for the colour of his hair.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“Whensoever any affliction assails me, me thinks I have the keyes of my prison in mine owne hand, and no remedy presents it selfe so soone to my heart, as mine own sword. Often meditation of this hath wonne me to a charitable interpretation of their action, who dy so: and provoked me a little to watch and exagitate their reasons, which pronounce so peremptory judgements upon them.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
