    Going to prison saved my life. I was a drug addict for 10+ years and in 2019 I went to prison and found out I was pregnant. When I got there that night, the intake nurse told me I was pregnant. Thank god I was arrested when I was... by the time I got to the prisons OB, she informed me I was 8 weeks along. That was 2 weeks after I arrived so I was 6 weeks pregnant when I was arrested. Talk about a blessing in disguise! Prison saved my son's life as well. My son will be 5 this December (2024), I have over 5 years sober and I just started school in August for nursing ❤

      Remember the escape a few years ago in upstate New York where the 2 prisoners convinced the female employee to help them? If I remember correctly, was a fairly easy escape for them. The woman's husband actually forgave her. But one of the prisoners was killed. Probably more in the background that we don't hear about.

Her addiction to ice turned her into the worst person and somebody I did not know. I was raising her children. I was constantly being raided by police to which was traumatic for the children and myself. I couldn’t take anymore. Now years later I am happy to say I have my daughter back. She has rebuilt her life and her relationship with her children. I am so proud of her.

    I’m a nursing student and I’ve gotten to work prison units. You have to remember why they’re there in the first place. They ALWAYS come across as super sweet, charismatic, and knowledgeable. They’ve mastered the art of manipulation. Maintaining professionalism and setting limits is KEY.
    Edit, Before anyone else gets triggered**
    My opinion is based on MY personal experience while working with inmates. I’m emphasizing the importance of maintaining professionalism and boundaries. Take what I said with a grain of salt. If the shoe doesn’t fit, leave it be.

      When I had a chance to speak with some women in prison and look at their cases, I realized how many women were in there due to them being used by men or toxic and/or controlling family members, or untreated mental health conditions including postpartum. Yet some are given harsher sentences than males whom did more violent crimes. The western legal system feels the need to be more mad at women for some reason.
      I no longer work much with the legal system, but I will admit many things are more fair than I assumed. However, the matters that aren't fair are truly not fair. The justice system isn't the problem, it's some of the people running it.

    • @Eisengras
      @Eisengras Місяць тому +44

      @@alpenjodel24 In Germany, escaping from prison is not actually punishable by law. This is because German criminal law acknowledges the so-called "natural instinct for freedom." The desire to regain one's freedom is seen as human and understandable, and therefore it is not considered a criminal offense.
      The legal basis for this can be found indirectly in the German Criminal Code (Strafgesetzbuch, StGB), as there is simply no provision that defines escape itself as a criminal act. However, there are limitations: any crimes committed during the escape, such as property damage, assault, or taking hostages, are, of course, punishable and will be prosecuted in addition.
      Relevant in this context is § 120 StGB, which addresses prisoner liberation, meaning assistance from outside. This is punishable, as is being armed or using threats of violence during the escape. Leaving the facility during temporary release or misuse of prison leave can also lead to sanctions.
      In summary:
      Escape itself: not punishable, as long as no further crimes are committed.
      Crimes during escape: punishable.
      Outside assistance: punishable under § 120 StGB.

Not everyone who has been a criminal is a bad person. A lot of us had crime done onto us that we projected. Taking accountability and making the steps to change is the path to healing, but others being kind and understanding makes us feel as though we can truly be accepted by the common folk.

      Though the fact that the USA imprisons the most women out of any country "speaks volumes" as the phrase goes. I think this documentary misses a huge amount of prison sentences for non-violent drug offenses (i.e. no child in their custody and not operating a vehicle at the time of using). Then you have another layer of women who get prostitution charges who grew up in broken homes or being trafficked. They get handed sentences for the only life they knew in a country that doesn't give them many resources like housing yet has high-cost taxes and goods.
      Not sure this reveals the USA as the "great and just" nation they are always trying to claim themselves as. Also take in mind, these prison sentences cost taxpayers more and more money the longer the sentences are (guards paychecks/benefits, food, utilities). And not surprisingly they keep these prisons filled over-capacity with non-violent offenses. And don't get me started on the US' for-profit prisons

    I found my teen doing morphine which is a legal drug, I warned him about its consequences like addiction and he continued to do it. One day I found him stealing money from my neighbors(To buy the drug) and called the police and had him sent to juvenile detention for 6 months.
    I did this out of love and only due to that! This taught him a lesson that would remain forever with him and keeps him from breaking the rules. He thanks me for that till now after like 8 yrs since he did that, coz that prevented him from going to the wrong side and becoming a typical criminal.
    He was 14 when that happened. The judge even provided me an option to put him under probation, I said no to it and let him get his punishment.
    I broke into tears when he told me this when he got released - 'Dad, I'll never take freedom for granted, ever again. I accept my mistake and am extremely sorry for what I did. I Love you! '
    He never went into that direction after all this.

If you treat someone like they are a criminal and scum, then they never get the opportunities to be something more.

Sociopaths don't admit to wrongdoing. They don't own their actions and recognize the harm it causes to others.
      Addie was just a kid when she committed that robbery, and if her own family hadn't been one where her parents and grandparents were felons, she would have had the safety net and upbringing that would have prevented her from needing to steal for basic survival. Her environmental factors of no car of her own, no positive influences, no guidance on how to navigate life correctly were all contributing factors. She was definitely not one of those people who are born bad.

    At 12:03, when she says "just momma leaving", her facial expression, the way she breathes inwardly, and her tone of voice together express an ever so slight sense of frustration. It's chilling, because it is here when one can see a true juxtaposition of her amiable side and her violent side, a juxtaposition that was completely absent in earlier parts of her interview.

      It is escape. She left the prison without a legal release. Thus he helped her escape and served prison time himself. It is always suggested you do research or know the meaning of a word or term before posting a comment.

      They keep harping on how cunning and manipulative she is. I don't think she is. I think they're just really stupid and, as she said, they're embarrassed that she outsmarted them, so to save face they're painting her to be this criminal mastermind that no man could ever resist.

      @@Kat-tr2ig I watched all the documentaries and video she is in and I saw right through her. She is manipulative in my opinion and really has nothing to do with people being stupid. She was involved in the killings of those two people. She admitted to buying the weapons that were used. She further went on to get into a sexual relationship with a CO and did escape from prison. Thus, breaking another law. She is very conniving. I believe she should serve out the sentence given to her. I feel that if she is release she will attempt to get back at those who she thinks has wrong her. She is that kind of evil person

      People do crazy stuff when they are emotionally unstable. I interned in a law firm and had to sit in a client interview to record information when lawyer was interviewing the client. Client was 5"2 petite lady, but she was accused of stabbing her bf. So I had gone to her mother home to get some affidavit signed. Not only mom and sister refused, they wanted her to go to prison. Turns out this innocent looking lady had physically abused the sister and even knocked out mom! So do not judge book by its cover. Evil comes in every form.
