I know prison isn't supposed to be a vacation or go easy on you, but solitary confinement sounds like straight up legalized torture. It amazes me that prisons can get away with stuff like that.
I think solitary confinement should be for the people who have done the absolute worst of the worst. I do not understand in what world this punishment is okay for a mild case.
Unfortunately they don’t see it that way. I spent 7 days in solitary ONLY because Of the medicine I was taking before arrested and they knew I’d be going into withdrawals (they view it as a liability for you to be in gen pop if you are on certain meds that you are not getting while locked up). She is correct that they don’t really check on your well-being other than you breathing, so solitary for detox due to them needing to monitor your safety and vitals was BS on the highest level. I was in a mental and physical hell that made me question the purpose of living. Thankfully I am one of the lucky ones that went to gen pop after several days and finally, as any inmate would possibly agree, the sweetest words that were ever spoken finally came………”your last name, pack it up.”
This was pretty hard to stomach. So intense and horrifying. I can't imagine not having PTSD after such an experience. I don't think you would ever be the same person afterwards....
you get it. especially when you are in jail for some stupid shit you didnt actually do. i already had ptsd long long before i ever went to jail as an adult. juvenile detention is literally solitary 23 hours a day. one time i was literally hog tied and ball gagged at 15 years old naked in nothing but my underwear. for 18 hours. plus i grew up in group homes which is partly what caused my ptsd but 17 years later i still struggle with it.
@@satsumamoon It absolutely is unusual. Humans are naturally social beings. Taking away the ability to communicate, a psychological NEED, is unusual punishment.
Solitary should be outlawed, it's so barbaric. The fact that they can send you there for just about anything, is so messed up. I get prison is punishment, but it seems the SC is torture. It can do irreparable damage to your mental health & well being, and sometimes the reasons for putting someone there are absolutely absurd! If you're caught with a pen or sitting on someone's bunk....my best friend was locked up for a couple years about 10 years ago and the stories are terrifying! She said the guards seemed to get off in sending people to the hole....sadistic stuff.
Inmates who seriously injure another inmate or officer should be put in solitary confinement for 48-72 hours maybe longer depending on if it’s their first time in but putting someone in there for no reason or a nonviolent reason is so wrong
Right!! People who say, "If you can't take the time don't commit the crime' are evidently not seeing what really goes on in prison; it's inhumane. @@eej1983able
I've heard that you're not even allowed to have a hairbrush in prison. You might as well shave my head because there's no way I'm getting a comb through it, lol.
That is SO TRUE! I dont think she can ever imagine how many people with depression and anxiety that she is helping! I know I've been suffering with depression since being hit with a chronic illness that has left me bed ridden...and when I feel myself starting to get real depressed...I literally pull up her channel and rewatch her videos...just hearing her beautiful, loving voice honestly helps me more than any of those crap anti- depressants do! I'm so thankful to have her videos! We luv you Christina 💜!
You painted as amazingly vivid picture of the madness solitary confinement plays on your soul. My heart breaks hearing your recollection of this tortuous experience. Thank you for sharing your horrendous story.
How many youtubers do y’all know go through and like so many comments? She has a butt ton of subscribers and almost all comments have a like from her. She sees us. She cares. 💛
My only saving grace when I was in solitary is that I had a window so I would lay on my bunk and stare out the window. A spider had made a web on the outside of my window so I watched the spider a lot too. But that window is what saved me, it at least gave me something to look at, I could guess the time of day, and just use my imagination while watching the goings on outside.
I am so sorry for the things you have been through in your life. You have been treated so horribly. You could have let the things you have experienced break you. You have every reason to be a resentful, angry and hateful because of the things that has happened to you in life, but look at you. You are a strong, beautiful and charming with a wonderful family. You are a great example of perseverance. I don't know you, but I am proud of you. Your children are lucky to have you. :)
Hello Jamie, I TOTALLY AGREE with EVERY WORD you said about Christina !! You worded it soo BEAUTIFULLY !!! Christina is an ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL PERSON !!! From what I have seen, since recently coming across her videos of her life ! 😘xxx
Momma, I’ve been binge watching all your videos today! I’m also a mom to boys (teenager, 6yr old & 4yr old) & exactly the same age as you. I did time in jail as well, starting at 16, because I was a BAD teenager. So many of your stories put me right back into those moments & I completely understand what you mean about these storytimes taking a lot out of you, emotionally. However, I appreciate ALL OF THEM. The 2 that made me bawl was Jessica’s story & your story about being abused as a baby. Thank you for opening up & sharing all of these life experiences with us. You’re absolutely AMAZING!!!!
My heart seriously hurts, and prison reform is a huge topic. This is a case of " did the punishment fit the crime?". Which is a huge NO! I seriously hope that your platform is the catalyst for positive change and at least some awareness. Bless you..and I love you ❤
This is why I’m in law school. I’m majoring in criminal and prison law, all I want is to help individuals like you the best I can and prevent circumstances like this and hopefully someday to work with organisations to help abolish solitary confinement.
Christina!! Do NOT APOLOGIZE !! We are here to support you not bring you down!!! Anyone who cares about you will understand delving back to your past is deep and dark. We are here to support you ❤
I can't believe you had to go through that. It's disgusting how inmates are treated. Our prison system needs a huge overhaul. Yeah, people need to pay for their crimes but I feel we need to focus more on rehabilitation especially when the person is going to be back in society someday. Instead of breaking them physically and mentally. You're such a strong woman Christina and such an inspiration 💜💜
Definitely do a video about the guards coming into your room. I'm so sorry you went through that girl. You're so amazing for telling your story and having your own voice. Truly awesome.
Yes! I really hope she does that video! I am so intrigued and sad for the things people have to go through because of other peoples choices... It makes me very sad. But i would really really like to hear that story! Thank you Christina! For all of these stories eventhough their hard to talk about! Im so glad youre putting this out there for people to hear! I just hope some guards will see these and maybe think twice before treating people this way. I really do feel like youre chinging the world! Love you soo much!
You’re incredibly brave to share the most painful & darkest moments of your life with the world. You’re making a difference. Impacting others. Using your past pain to BLESS OTHERS. That’s inspiring. 💜🙏🏻😘
Your stories bring me back to my jail time!! You're an awsome storyteller. Im on day 3 binge watching. Iove your spirit!!!! I had a hard life both parents were addicts both have passed. I went down the same path. In and out of jail. Im on my 4th year clean and sober im working an office job that i never thought i would get. You are a huge inspiration. I found your channel a few days ago havent stopped watching!!
Constipation is a mind Fu@?” as is. That sounds terrible and inhumane and not making your poops IS AWFUL. So glad you came out of it ok and now transformed to the phenomenal person you are today.
It's so common in places like that. The food messes everyone up so bad. The nurses hand out laxatives like theres no tomorrow. But first you usually have to wait a few more days for a doctors order to even come in :/
Christina, you have such a beautiful heart. 😢 Your pain 💔 was so evident in this story that I cried. I pray 🙏 that you only have peace, love ❤️ and joy always! 😊 Love ❤️ you sweetie!
Hey Christina, I just wanted to send you some love and thank you for sharing your stories. I studied criminology at uni in Australia and hearing about real stories like yours, instead of just learning theory, really gives me a greater understanding of how justice involved individuals really experience the system. You really inspire me to fight for a more humane criminal (and social) justice system! ❤❤❤❤❤
i literally love christina so much. no matter how big shes getting (which is so deserved. she is so amazing.) she is not letting anything get to her head and you can tell how thankful she is for us. much love.
All these details, to remember them must mean it’s pretty traumatic to go through. You have a really great way with stories, you mention things I’d never think of and give a really amazing mental picture on how the experience went. The constipation, the sun, the rashes..... those are all things I’d probably not think to mention..... but it really reinforces your story.
"Department of Corrections" my ass. They don't give a shit about correcting or rehabilitating anybody in there. It's like all they rely on is having people come back again and again and again. Thank god you were able to be the exception instead of the rule. I love you so much.
What if someone has a panic disorder or is not mentally well and goes into the hole? This sounds absolutely horrific!!!!! I love that you are turning your mistakes into golden nuggets of wisdom and inspiration for others!
I’ve always been a true crime junkie and super interested in all that type of stuff!!! HOWEVER of course all those shows show everything before prison and then the people get locked up and then the show is over. It’s really interesting to see what it looks like on the “inside” and not just know “prison is a place where people who got arrested go and get their freedom taken away”. I’ve learned a lot and it’s been really interesting to discover all this stuff!
I want to cry listening how several guards and nurses were able to continuously deny you and others basic needs. Thank you for sharing your experience, I just know your video can make an impact and spare anyone at risk the same suffering.
You are so strong! I don’t think I could have survived what you did and now you’re creating meaning from your suffering; you’re an incredible blessing to us all. Just as an aside, I can’t believe how dehydrated they allowed you to get. They could have done serious damage. I’ve been mildly dehydrated before and it was awful.
Thank you for sharing your stories with us. I am a bartender on the west coast and I am grateful that you upload your videos so early in the am so I can watch you before I go to sleep!! I know you used to be a bartender/server so I’m sure you get it! Anyway you are a beautiful light! one love!
Grandma Christina!!! My oh my the things you have been through....what a strong woman you are!!! Please please do not feel obligated to share these stories and stress yourself out. You have been through enough. Would love to hear about eating healthy/body image/beauty type vids if you feel up to it! You are so special and beautiful my baby!!! 💜💜💜💜💜 Love and light from Louisiana!
There's no other way to summarize this experience than 'cruel and unusual punishment'. This is dispicable and shameful on behalf of our judicial system.
I love how early you post! It’s become part of my morning routine to drink coffee and watch your videos! 💗 keep up the informational videos, while still keeping your mental health in check, of course!
I love that you treat this like a full time job and put in the work to upload regularly, unlike a lot of RUclipsrs. I watch all your videos and love all of them :)
Emseepop no she should only upload when inspired to. this shouldn’t be a full time job for her do you want a bunch of sponsorship videos? Stay authentic and genuine girl!
I just want to say thank you for sharing your story ❤ You don't have to do that for us, and most people expect you to, but you do it anyway no matter how mentally challenging it is. You're a true inspiration ❤
Thank you so much for sharing these harrowing stories with us. It’s hard to listen to so can only imagine how difficult it is to recount & relive these experiences. But I appreciate you even more so & definitely look forward to hearing your jail solitary experience however it’s completely understandable if it takes awhile cuz we realize how hard it is to relive the experience filming & then editing it. ILYSM you’re truly a remarkable reminder of what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger !!!
this is the first chance I’ve had to watch this entire video and i’m only halfway thru and ready to cry. the prison system is so cracked omg. i cannot even IMAGINE. this is insane. i’m so proud of you for being able to talk about this stuff. i think it’s rly big of you to tell a story that stresses you out so that you can explain this stuff to us. never say more than your mental health can handle girl 💜 just like grandma christina says, you need a healthy lifestyle. both physically and mentally ♥️♥️♥️ thank you for being so strong
I have binged watched all your videos and always jump when I see a notification from your channel! You are truely amazing, inspirational and I hope to be just as amazing as you with my family etc! Baby boy due August 21st!! Hopefully lots and lots of videos to keep company on maternity leave. Keep doing whatcha doing!! 💕💕 Have you thought about vlogging? Maisy xoxox
Wow she explains things very well and really keeps the story Interesting. I love listening to her videos while I’m driving and it makes the drive actually fun because I’m so invested in the story. She deserves so much success with RUclips! ❤️
I’m so sorry you had to go through that you’re such a beautiful soul and your channel has really helped me discover a different way of life and a different outlook on everything that happens in life I think I have a different perspective on life i just want you to know how much you’ve helped me and I just want to say thank you
This is honestly horrible. Like I understand if they have a separate area for someone who is truly more dangerous, etc, but it should not be like this. I don’t believe that punishment for a crime should include torture.
This is shocking - so so sorry this happens to people. You have taken all these tough and traumatic experiences and learned valuable lessons. Thank you for sharing these personal private moments.
Thank you so much for these stories!! I know it's not easy for you to tell them, but they really are so eye-opening and powerful. I had no idea things like this happened, and I'm pretty horrified. Girl..not being able to go #2 for four WEEKS??? I cannot imagine.
I listen to this at my office job and man I love how long they are lol my coworker used to be a prison guard and the stories he tells me are crazy too!
I'm so sorry you had to go through that heinous torture. You are strong in a way no one should ever need to be. My heart goes out to you, thank you for sharing your story ❤️
I emailed the president asking prison reform, I especially mention women being chained during child birth and their babied denied breast milk or mamas love in their infancy. Hope this change will come quickly, because no baby should cry.
Hi Christina ,i am new to your Chanel i mean only 2 days now .all day playing one after another but for this ??? i cried for what I've heard for you and for all who went thru this .but girl look @ you now you shine and many love and support you around the globe and truly believe that the CO who caused you the nightmare is living miserably unloved i hope so .lots of love and respect from Australia xxx
This video is so raw, I can see the pain in your eyes. I’m so sorry you had to go through this. It painted a very powerful picture of how it is in there. Hugs.
Can I just say you’re a complete queen for having to go through what you did and handling it like a boss and owning it and talking to us about it when it’s clearly not easy to relive.
Commenting from my friend's acct.. I've been to jail, did 14 days in solitary confinement and you can't break because even if you do it doesn't matter you aren't fucking going anywhere. They have 'policies' that prevent guards that have any level of sympathy for you from sending you out of solitary until you're done doing whatever time you've been assigned.
I would LOVE to see a video about some guards/cops that you got to see some real compassion/humanity from, whether towards you or another inmate. I loved your story about the guard that used to sneak you now and laters :) id never be able to work in a prison, id want to care for each inmates individual needs and HELP THEM get through their time rather than make it hell for them
being active with your subscribers is the way to go. you are the ONLY RUclips’s that ever liked my comment and that made my day. that’s why we love you so much, not only are you so interesting to watch but you are also super close with your followers and make us feel like friends, thank you for that. you are such an angel and you really got a new hardcore fan by your stories and your amazing personality. you don’t even know what a difference you can make💞💞💞
Wow I never thought about how hard it must be for you to constantly relive all these old painful memories! I will tell you though it’s basically like doing 5 years of therapy, so just know that it’s probably helping your soul more than you know. Thank you so much for digging through all these memories just for us! You are so brave & set such a good example! I love ya girl ! 💕 🧸 🥰🦸🏼♀️🕊
Thank you for sharing these stories Christina... You are so gorgeous and such a beautiful person. Your story times captivate me and I binged all of your story videos in two days.
Ugh I'm so happy you take 2-3 showers a day I do too and my mom and sister hate it they think it's stupid but ugh the fresh feeling is everything it makes me feel like I have my life together
I have so much respect for you. It's obviously really difficult to talk about these things, and yet you share anyway to help others and spread your message. You're a true hero.. thank you for being you. 💙
Hey Christina, have you watched The jail: 60 days in? It’s where they send people ‘undercover’ into the county jails to report back on the issues etc going on in the jail to try and help jail reforms. It’s so interesting as someone who has never been in prison to see first hand exactly what it’s like and I’d imagine interesting for you to compare your experience. 10/10 recommend for anyone remotely interested in prison life. Xxxx
I just found your channel and you’ve completely opened my mind about how inhumane prison is. I’m shocked!! I’m about to graduate with my nursing degree, and you make me want to work in a prison and actually show compassion to people! I can’t believe how horribly nurses in the prison treated you, I’m so sorry!
You are so strong Christina can't believe you went through that. Its horrible they do that in prison. Glad you're telling these stories and things will change. Love you Christina
I Keep My Lights On And My Curtain Closed So No One Sees Me And You Think S.O Is Bad? WAIT UNTIL YOU GO TO INDIA They Have Prisons That Will Make Your Sanity Jump OUT THE WINDOW And Never Come Back Like Central Prison In Varanasi And If Your 18 Year Old Self Were To Bust Out You Would NOT Be Able To Escape The Sight Of Kaal Bhairav And TRUST ME If He Sees You Do It Well GAME OVER You Would Be Stuck In A NIGHTMARE
I know prison isn't supposed to be a vacation or go easy on you, but solitary confinement sounds like straight up legalized torture. It amazes me that prisons can get away with stuff like that.
To be honest it needs to be rehabilitation>retribution
Watch the movie Papillon
Mellisa Basile will do!
It is considered torture is known to cause extremely severe mental health issues. The UN bans the use of solitary for more than 15 days.
It actually is an ancient form of torture, they used to lock you in there with a bible so you can just study it and “rehab or else” basically.
I think solitary confinement should be for the people who have done the absolute worst of the worst. I do not understand in what world this punishment is okay for a mild case.
Exactly! How does she deserve that, even if she DID do what she was accused of??
Unfortunately they don’t see it that way. I spent 7 days in solitary ONLY because Of the medicine I was taking before arrested and they knew I’d be going into withdrawals (they view it as a liability for you to be in gen pop if you are on certain meds that you are not getting while locked up).

This makes me realize how much we take for granted on a day to day basis..... love you Christina , glad you came out on the other side ❤️❤️
Love you too Hailey 💜
U are so good at painting a picture. I always get the feels when I listen to you! It always makes me want to cry!
“y’all are my babies” makes me feel so content lol
As a grown woman I hate to admit this... but same girl same. 🤣🤣🤣
Cheetah print looks really good on you
Everything looks really good on her
Agreed! I LOVE that top but don't think I would look nearly as good in it, lol. She's so beautiful.
Lol I was just about to comment about how beautiful that shirt is
I agree 😇
What doesn’t look good on this girl
That should be considered "cruel and unusual punishment"
Jimin Namjoon I agree
Its not unusual
@@satsumamoon It absolutely is unusual. Humans are naturally social beings. Taking away the ability to communicate, a psychological NEED, is unusual punishment.
Being called one of your babies is the highlight of my day 🤞🏻❤🖤
Same 😍
Facts
truly. never even met her but she's such a light in my sad little life
Love her intro so cute
Same here!!❤

Solitary confinement is important, but committing crimes is not.
You gonna help to stop the sick people committing the crimes too ?
Honestly Christina is the only RUclipsr I always drop what I'm doing to watch 😂💗
Just did the same haha
Same and the only person I actually sit down and watch because the others i just listen to while i do other things
cara brierley lmao same! I love her such a sweetheart you can feel it.
Me too. Just woke up and getting my coffee to sit and sip. ☕️
Me too
Christina!! Do NOT APOLOGIZE !! We are here to support you not bring you down!!! Anyone who cares about you will understand delving back to your past is deep and dark. We are here to support you ❤
Always!❤❤❤
Been there done that. And I’m never gonna be ashamed only thing I regret was the time I lost protecting someone that could not even pick me up
Usually the women are worst
I can't believe you had to go through that. It's disgusting how inmates are treated. Our prison system needs a huge overhaul. Yeah, people need to pay for their crimes but I feel we need to focus more on rehabilitation especially when the person is going to be back in society someday.

i’m proud of you. you are a queen who came from nearly nothing and turned into such a beautiful soul❤️
The water situation 😵😵😵 beyond torture
Thats the part I strongly disagree with. A human needs clean water. The inmate at least should have clean water.
Thank you for making this video. People need to know how horrible and unjust prison is. I’m so so sorry you had to go through that.
Definitely do a video about the guards coming into your room. I'm so sorry you went through that girl. You're so amazing for telling your story and having your own voice. Truly awesome.
Yes! I really hope she does that video! I am so intrigued and sad for the things people have to go through because of other peoples choices... It makes me very sad.

Hey Christine just so you know you don't have to trigger yourself for us! If its too hard to talk about you shouldn't feel pressured to do so
Your stories bring me back to my jail time!! You're an awsome storyteller. Im on day 3 binge watching. Iove your spirit!!!! I had a hard life both parents were addicts both have passed. I went down the same path. In and out of jail. Im on my 4th year clean and sober im working an office job that i never thought i would get. You are a huge inspiration. I found your channel a few days ago havent stopped watching!!
Constipation is a mind Fu@?” as is. That sounds terrible and inhumane and not making your poops IS AWFUL. So glad you came out of it ok and now transformed to the phenomenal person you are today.
It's so common in places like that. The food messes everyone up so bad. The nurses hand out laxatives like theres no tomorrow. But first you usually have to wait a few more days for a doctors order to even come in :/
I've gone 3 weeks without shitting and when I finally did it was terrible. Lol
Christina, you have such a beautiful heart. 😢 Your pain 💔 was so evident in this story that I cried. I pray 🙏 that you only have peace, love ❤️ and joy always! 😊 Love ❤️ you sweetie!

i literally love christina so much. no matter how big shes getting (which is so deserved. she is so amazing.) she is not letting anything get to her head and you can tell how thankful she is for us. much love.
I want to hear the stories about the guards that were nice to you!! Love when you upload! You always teach me something! Love you tons! Thank you!
Rewatching this and I would love to hug you out of compassion. Love you, C!
All these details, to remember them must mean it’s pretty traumatic to go through. You have a really great way with stories, you mention things I’d never think of and give a really amazing mental picture on how the experience went. The constipation, the sun, the rashes..... those are all things I’d probably not think to mention..... but it really reinforces your story.
That sign on the wall reminds me of a quote I live by:
"You are enough. You are SO enough. It is unbelievable how enough you are."
"Department of Corrections" my ass. They don't give a shit about correcting or rehabilitating anybody in there. It's like all they rely on is having people come back again and again and again.
Thank god you were able to be the exception instead of the rule. I love you so much.
That's why when government institutions rename themselves, to something less accurate and better sounding, BE VERY CONCERNED
What if someone has a panic disorder or is not mentally well and goes into the hole? This sounds absolutely horrific!!!!! I love that you are turning your mistakes into golden nuggets of wisdom and inspiration for others!
Just hearing about this drove me insane 😭😭😭 I can’t imagine what people go through
I’ve always been a true crime junkie and super interested in all that type of stuff!!! HOWEVER of course all those shows show everything before prison and then the people get locked up and then the show is over. It’s really interesting to see what it looks like on the “inside” and not just know “prison is a place where people who got arrested go and get their freedom taken away”. I’ve learned a lot and it’s been really interesting to discover all this stuff!
I’d love to see a makeup tutorial because your makeup is EVERYTHING!! 💕
I want to cry listening how several guards and nurses were able to continuously deny you and others basic needs. Thank you for sharing your experience, I just know your video can make an impact and spare anyone at risk the same suffering.
i almost fell asleep when you kept saying “tick, tick, tick...”. make an asmr video 😂
I got anxiety lol
It sounds tortures my Brother is in prison he hopefully will get prole but sure when I can see him
Yeah, haha me too. Jokes aside what Christina went through and those other inmates is horrendous. There is no need to treat anybody that way 😭
Is so inhumane. I'm so sorry you went through this n that others still do. 💔 You're so strong!
You are so strong! I don’t think I could have survived what you did and now you’re creating meaning from your suffering; you’re an incredible blessing to us all.
Just as an aside, I can’t believe how dehydrated they allowed you to get. They could have done serious damage. I’ve been mildly dehydrated before and it was awful.
Thank you so much for opening up and sharing all of this even tho it’s hard. We all appreciate it so much! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your stories with us. I am a bartender on the west coast and I am grateful that you upload your videos so early in the am so I can watch you before I go to sleep!! I know you used to be a bartender/server so I’m sure you get it! Anyway you are a beautiful light! one love!
I don't understand how solitary confinement is still going on. It's torture! Usually for dumb infractions.
Grandma Christina!!! My oh my the things you have been through....what a strong woman you are!!! Please please do not feel obligated to share these stories and stress yourself out. You have been through enough. Would love to hear about eating healthy/body image/beauty type vids if you feel up to it! You are so special and beautiful my baby!!! 💜💜💜💜💜 Love and light from Louisiana!
This needs to be on television
There's no other way to summarize this experience than 'cruel and unusual punishment'. This is dispicable and shameful on behalf of our judicial system.
solitary confinement is cruel and unusual punishment and needs to be banished
I love how early you post! It’s become part of my morning routine to drink coffee and watch your videos! 💗 keep up the informational videos, while still keeping your mental health in check, of course!
watching this video was so upsetting. you seem like such a kind person and hearing what you had to go through is so heartbreaking ☹️
I love that you treat this like a full time job and put in the work to upload regularly, unlike a lot of RUclipsrs. I watch all your videos and love all of them :)
Emseepop no she should only upload when inspired to. this shouldn’t be a full time job for her do you want a bunch of sponsorship videos?
Stay authentic and genuine girl!
I just want to say thank you for sharing your story ❤
You don't have to do that for us, and most people expect you to, but you do it anyway no matter how mentally challenging it is.
You're a true inspiration ❤
that little applaud when i know i’m a returning subscriber always makes my day🥰! i love you christina :)
I cant even imagine how terrible it must be. I am claustrophobic. I think I would probably go insane being in solitary. You are very brave.
Thank you so much for sharing these harrowing stories with us. It’s hard to listen to so can only imagine how difficult it is to recount & relive these experiences. But I appreciate you even more so & definitely look forward to hearing your jail solitary experience however it’s completely understandable if it takes awhile cuz we realize how hard it is to relive the experience filming & then editing it. ILYSM you’re truly a remarkable reminder of what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger !!!
this is the first chance I’ve had to watch this entire video and i’m only halfway thru and ready to cry. the prison system is so cracked omg. i cannot even IMAGINE. this is insane. i’m so proud of you for being able to talk about this stuff. i think it’s rly big of you to tell a story that stresses you out so that you can explain this stuff to us. never say more than your mental health can handle girl 💜 just like grandma christina says, you need a healthy lifestyle. both physically and mentally ♥️♥️♥️ thank you for being so strong
I have binged watched all your videos and always jump when I see a notification from your channel!
You are truely amazing, inspirational and I hope to be just as amazing as you with my family etc! Baby boy due August 21st!! Hopefully lots and lots of videos to keep company on maternity leave.
Keep doing whatcha doing!! 💕💕
Have you thought about vlogging?
Maisy xoxox
Just hearing this gave me anxiety, I really feel bad for anyone who has or had to go through this. It’s so cruel
Wow she explains things very well and really keeps the story Interesting. I love listening to her videos while I’m driving and it makes the drive actually fun because I’m so invested in the story. She deserves so much success with RUclips! ❤️
I’m never going to complain about my life again. Staying grateful and feeling blessed.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that you’re such a beautiful soul and your channel has really helped me discover a different way of life and a different outlook on everything that happens in life I think I have a different perspective on life i just want you to know how much you’ve helped me and I just want to say thank you
This is honestly horrible. Like I understand if they have a separate area for someone who is truly more dangerous, etc, but it should not be like this. I don’t believe that punishment for a crime should include torture.
You gotta be the most motivated youtuber cause dang you upload soooo often!!!! Loving it!!
This is shocking - so so sorry this happens to people. You have taken all these tough and traumatic experiences and learned valuable lessons. Thank you for sharing these personal private moments.
Thank you so much for these stories!! I know it's not easy for you to tell them, but they really are so eye-opening and powerful. I had no idea things like this happened, and I'm pretty horrified. Girl..not being able to go #2 for four WEEKS??? I cannot imagine.
It absolutely saddens me that this is the way people get treated. I’m so sorry that you had to go through that 💕
You are the only youtuber I like drop everything to watch ☺️💙💙💙💙💙I really appreciate your stories and how much effort you put into them
You are such an inspiration for the youth. You are a remarkable lady
I listen to this at my office job and man I love how long they are lol my coworker used to be a prison guard and the stories he tells me are crazy too!
I'm so sorry you had to go through that heinous torture. You are strong in a way no one should ever need to be. My heart goes out to you, thank you for sharing your story ❤️
I emailed the president asking prison reform, I especially mention women being chained during child birth and their babied denied breast milk or mamas love in their infancy. Hope this change will come quickly, because no baby should cry.
Hi Christina ,i am new to your Chanel i mean only 2 days now .all day playing one after another but for this ??? i cried for what I've heard for you and for all who went thru this .but girl look @ you now you shine and many love and support you around the globe and truly believe that the CO who caused you the nightmare is living miserably unloved i hope so .lots of love and respect from Australia xxx
I've been binge watching your videos, the realist youtuber tbh 🤙🏼❤
This video is so raw, I can see the pain in your eyes. I’m so sorry you had to go through this. It painted a very powerful picture of how it is in there. Hugs.
I would love to hear about the nice guards, and how they helped you.
been waiting for this one! so interesting! love you girl✨
I am so glad you made it through all those hard times, and now you have your freedom back, enjoy your precious family.❤️
Found your channel last night! Love your prison storytimes and your message behind them! It's refreshing to see another person who is religious Xx💗
Can I just say you’re a complete queen for having to go through what you did and handling it like a boss and owning it and talking to us about it when it’s clearly not easy to relive.
Agreed!👍❤100%!
Damn man that’s literal TORTURE.. I’d break. 😮😵
I would too. I get so bored so easily. It's totally torture., especially the way Christina explains it.
Heighton 720 I’ve only been to jail 1 time for 24 hours (on a minor offense) and it was the most traumatizing experience and I still have PTSD for it.
Commenting from my friend's acct.. I've been to jail, did 14 days in solitary confinement and you can't break because even if you do it doesn't matter you aren't fucking going anywhere. They have 'policies' that prevent guards that have any level of sympathy for you from sending you out of solitary until you're done doing whatever time you've been assigned.
Your stories encourage ppl NOT to engage in activities that would put them in jail. Thx for sharing Christina :-)
I would LOVE to see a video about some guards/cops that you got to see some real compassion/humanity from, whether towards you or another inmate. I loved your story about the guard that used to sneak you now and laters :) id never be able to work in a prison, id want to care for each inmates individual needs and HELP THEM get through their time rather than make it hell for them
being active with your subscribers is the way to go. you are the ONLY RUclips’s that ever liked my comment and that made my day. that’s why we love you so much, not only are you so interesting to watch but you are also super close with your followers and make us feel like friends, thank you for that. you are such an angel and you really got a new hardcore fan by your stories and your amazing personality. you don’t even know what a difference you can make💞💞💞
Awwww you’re so sweet ❤️
Wow I never thought about how hard it must be for you to constantly relive all these old painful memories! I will tell you though it’s basically like doing 5 years of therapy, so just know that it’s probably helping your soul more than you know. Thank you so much for digging through all these memories just for us! You are so brave & set such a good example! I love ya girl ! 💕 🧸 🥰🦸🏼♀️🕊
I cried when you described the “Tick tock” it’s so horrible literally no one should go through that.
This really made me realize how bad prison is
I can’t believe this happens in America. Not right. Thank you for sharing. Your so strong ♥️
You're truly the most inspiring human being in this planet! So much respect and love towards you 💙
Thank you for sharing these stories Christina... You are so gorgeous and such a beautiful person. Your story times captivate me and I binged all of your story videos in two days.
Ugh I'm so happy you take 2-3 showers a day I do too and my mom and sister hate it they think it's stupid but ugh the fresh feeling is everything it makes me feel like I have my life together
I have so much respect for you. It's obviously really difficult to talk about these things, and yet you share anyway to help others and spread your message. You're a true hero.. thank you for being you. 💙
Hey Christina, have you watched The jail: 60 days in? It’s where they send people ‘undercover’ into the county jails to report back on the issues etc going on in the jail to try and help jail reforms. It’s so interesting as someone who has never been in prison to see first hand exactly what it’s like and I’d imagine interesting for you to compare your experience. 10/10 recommend for anyone remotely interested in prison life.
Xxxx
I always wonder don't the other prisoners ever wonder why a camera crew is there? Maybe someone is undercover?
I just found your channel and you’ve completely opened my mind about how inhumane prison is. I’m shocked!! I’m about to graduate with my nursing degree, and you make me want to work in a prison and actually show compassion to people! I can’t believe how horribly nurses in the prison treated you, I’m so sorry!
No human being should be treated like that. No matter the crime.
You are so strong Christina can't believe you went through that. Its horrible they do that in prison. Glad you're telling these stories and things will change. Love you Christina
I Keep My Lights On And My Curtain Closed So No One Sees Me And You Think S.O Is Bad? WAIT UNTIL YOU GO TO INDIA They Have Prisons That Will Make Your Sanity Jump OUT THE WINDOW And Never Come Back Like Central Prison In Varanasi And If Your 18 Year Old Self Were To Bust Out You Would NOT Be Able To Escape The Sight Of Kaal Bhairav And TRUST ME If He Sees You Do It Well GAME OVER You Would Be Stuck In A NIGHTMARE
