Rehabilitate is much better if needed and help to get life on right path and help them out so they have a chance to adapt in a worthy life again. Cheaper too , probably! Not everyone is sociopaths and psychopaths, and people mature very often and regret . This is so heartbreaking.

Just socio-politicallly naive, and tend to hang around environments I'm not comfortable being around. Harmless partying and hanging out is cool, but can be a death sentence for black and brown people.

No one would have expected that to happen, in her shoes. How many new oartners go with their bloke to collect his kids from his ex? They never expect that! If I had been her Iwould have been in shock, and also fear that he could turn around and do the same to me. How can they prosecute her with no solid evidence. It's madness!!

    I really enjoyed this video. I am a former inmate and I, too, have "aged out of crime." But the REAL reason that these women remain behind bars? Because this nation's corrections system is a FOR PROFIT, MONEY MAKING BUSINESS. The longer an inmate remains 'inside,' the more money the state makes -- it's as simple as that. It's shameful. These people are basically just forgotten by our society. And it's just the tip of the iceberg...

      By the law, you did it if you were there. These women described their actions on those days and the made a series of poor decisions. A couple of them seem to minimize the severity of their choices. It’s sad because the commutation board looks to see if you take full responsibility for your actions. They need to do that to have a chance to get out.
      In England, life means 15 years then you’re eligible for release unless they decide not to release you yet. Like a parole board but without the part where they check on you after release.
      The only people who get life without parole are the people who commit multiple murders, and other similarly serious murders. I think their system would work better.

      @@mikevega1764 The perp's family has to live with the fact that they raised a violent criminal...they also get attacked and bashed just for being related. I've seen whole families get treated like crap just because another killed someone. The person who did the crime should be punished but not the family.

    I've been to prison. I'm in England. I'm a mother, a grandmother, a wife, daughter, a sister, cousin, neice, auntie, Godmother, friend, neighbour, colleague, community member. I'm many things. I'm also very sorry for the hurt and consequences of my actions that resulted in my being, rightly sent to prison. Yes there were reasons, maybe some mitigation..... But at the end of the day I know and knew then ,right from wrong. Yes I've been a victim, I've gone through many really bad things. Things, some have said explain and excuse my behaviour and then my crime but...... My veiw is yep, may explain ,if you want to excuse me, but l knew from the get go what I was doing was not going to help or erase my past, I knew when I offended it was wrong. So no,l've no excuse. I've served my sentence, it was horrible, it was frightening and you I hope will never experience it.( for me more frightening at first than a crime committed against me though I won't expand on this here)
    The adage if you don't want to do the time (or you can't handle the consequences) don't do the crime. Don't make excuses, make as best you can amends.
    Here and now I apologise to my community and for those closer and closest to me for my actions and the Crime I committed against you all. Drugs ruin lives, families, communities and ruin yourself.

      Yes, I read your entire comment. I will pray for you my friend. Pray for yourself and choose your associates carefully. I’ve never been incarcerated, thanks to God’s grace, but I did study Psychology and Law in college, it was an interest to me. I want to one day mentor at a prison, sit and talk, and help anyone I can. May God bless you and keep his guardian angels watching over you.🙏🏾

    In other words he didn't care if you were innocent or not. He just wanted to lock you away for as long as possible because it propelled his career. P.O.S.

      this is a shameful outrage on these
      women, you can almost feel their collective & individual spirituality &
      sense of worth bleed out in front of you. they need to do what women do, it's a vile waste of their
      instinct & human energy to do the
      right thing, mothership & family is
      their right urgently, don't waste their precious commodity!
