I feel like when you get sentenced 30-50 years, it's as if you've sent to another dimension. Coming out at the other side, you've basically time traveled. There's new technology, new laws, new inventions, new social norms and references...so much to catch up on. Crazy stuff.
Agreed, I've waited so long for someone like her to come along and be 100% honest and to share her story. She's amazing and I'm so happy to have found this channel 😊
I'm a nurse, I've had a few patients that were released from prison because they had cancer that was terminal. When they do this, it's usually very close to the end.
I've been with plenty of people locked up who had cancer and all they did was SOMETIMES give them medicine till they die. I couldnt believe they did that. I'm glad that at least at someplaces they'll release them.
My dad lost both of his parents, a brother, and sister EACH separate time he went to prison. He was able to attend his parents funeral, in hand cuffs and shackles 😩 guards on each side of him. We weren’t even allowed to give him a hug... it was rough. He eventually got lung cancer, found out while he was in a small county jail. He kept getting sicker and sicker and the doctors didn’t know/care what was wrong with him, so they let him out early, on probation....so he was able to come home and do chemo for as long as his body could take it 😩😣😭 miss him everyday!! So I know lots about the prison life, from the perspective of the child. Thanks for sharing your experience! Lots of love. May God continue to bless you and yours 🙏🏻❤️🥰 **sorry for the long comment 🥴😅
I am from a very small and very corrupt town in Texas and a friend of mine got Life for something he wasn’t even involved in. I was his only alibi and they wouldn’t let me testify. It’s been 15 years and he never was able to get a new trial. Our system really is broken.
These stories make me so sad and upset. Could you invoke or appeal to that organization that reevaluates cases to help innocent people out of prison? Is it called The Innocent Project? They definitely could help your friend if they absolutely handled the case wrong especially not even using you as a witness who could have cleared your friend of charges and or a prison sentence. 😢And if people are truly innocent they can get to the bottom of it and free people. ❤
I always feel bad when I see an elderly person in those prison shows. I know some of them did horrible stuff, and everyone needs to pay for their mistakes, but it always pulls on my heart strings.
I was in jail with an elderly lady, she had a walker and I felt so bad for her. Some of the ladies said she killed someone but I don't really know what she did. But she did tell me she is never going home so I assume she was waiting to go to prison or something. I was only there for a week so I didn't get to know her. But it was definitely sad
This video really touched my heart. I started crying when you told us about the lady who lost her son in jail…. that is just so so terrible. Not being able to see your child one last time or to be with them during their final days. Not being able to be with your baby after carrying him for 9 months. I am just so grateful to have been born into the family I was born into and that I stayed on the right path. I pray to God everyone who has a bad relationship with the law watches this and changes because I don’t think I’d wish life in prison on anyone. Thank you for telling us about your experiences, it’s so eye-opening.
My little sister is going to go to prison if she keeps up what she’s doing... sent her links to you seems to be helping..... she realizes what’s going to happen now, I hope she can find you and god and make it through ❤️🙏 thank you for this you are incredible and such a blessing
Jess I will legit be praying for your sister. I hope she turns her life around now. That path will lead her to nothing but heartache I can promise. Keep me posted on how she and you are doing please. ❤️
Sounds like being pregnant in prison and having those preggy food cravings but not being able to satisfy them might be one of the worst forms of torture...
You really put things into perspective. I fall guilty of not being satisfied with my very comfortable life. Remembering that there are people out there that are wishing for what I have makes me appreciate my life. Thanks for the great videos!
I feel like I'm falling in love with you more and more as I watch your videos... Which I've kind of been binge-watching all day today. So thank you for the wonderful entertainment! And I'm living for your honesty
You know what is weird? You’re not the other person that has told me that! 😂😂😂 And I don’t even really know what that means but I’ve been told that before. Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
Wow. I really needed this today. Thank you. I've never been to prison (although I lived a lifestyle for a very long time that could have landed me there). I've been clean for 10 years now, married to a wonderful man with 3 beautiful kids. I have been feeling so down and unhappy lately, for no real reason I can put my finger on. This video really put things into perspective for me! I can go eat cheese pizza or drive through Wendy's for a frosty anytime I want! Life is good! For real though, I'm so blessed and I really appreciate you putting things into perspective. Amazing video!!
You’re so welcome!!! And CONGRATULATIONS on your sobriety!!!! I don’t think some ppl understand how hard it is to fight addiction. It’s definitely not for the weak so you should be INCREDIBLY proud of yourself, I’m dang sure proud of you. God bless you and your family ❤️
I recently stumbled across your channel. The things you tell us in your stories really enrage me. I know a lot of people deserve to be in there, but our system is totally screwed. Non violent offenders should never get a life sentence. Ridiculous! Oh and to add the way that they treat pregnant women! How can this be ok!?
Girl i was in the county jail with a girl who got staph infection the jail didn't treat it in time and it went to her heart she had to have open heart surgery and have a pacemaker put in and do you think they released her? Nope they sent her right back to jail! Absolutely blew my mind. And I have never seen anyone have a seizure until I was locked up that is probably one of the scariest things I've ever witnessed!!
I know this is old, but I discovered you from Jim can’t swim, and I think you’re amazing. I went to jail for a bs dv charge and never went to prison, but I can’t even imagine. I truly appreciate your openness and talking about all of this. Until you’ve been in any of it, you can’t get it. Life is crazy and full of experiences and I’m grateful you are open to sharing your story and educating people who would never know. Thanks for doing what you’re doing pretty lady
Aw Ally girl, I’m actually subbed to you. I was drawn to you because you remind me a lot of myself when I was younger. (Actually you an Tana Mongeau both do.) Keep doing your thing babygirl. You are young wild and free and don’t have to have to all figured out right now!!! All my love ❤️
What you said about that woman losing her child and hearing her screaming drove both me and my mom to tears. I'm not naive enough to think that everyone in prison is a sweetheart, but I don't care what she did, she didn't deserve that. I hope more than anything that she's doing better and has been able to move forward.
I was in a Wisconsin prison..got my wisdom teeth out..long story short i got a horrible infection and ended up in the hospital..when i got back to the prison they did let me take my prescription Vicodin
Wow I'm surprised they let you because I was in prison in Indiana and they won't give you anything, like if you go to the nurse for anything they don't even give you Tylenol or ibprophen. You don't get anything at all there it was so bad. I remember older women crying all the time from so much pain. It was so sad.
I came across your channel.. and had to stop and watched My daughter is currently in prison She is 19 years old! I have her in my mind and my heart hurts me thinking how is she dealing with all of this Brakes my heart 💔 Thank you !!
You make me laugh all the time but that “baby feeders” comment killed me! I almost choked. Definitely going to start calling them that since that’s what they do on repeat for the past 6 yrs! (Different babies, not nursing a 6yr old! Lol)
You are absolutely right! I lost my mom while I was in prison...I had less than 90 days left and had just talked to her the night before. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever went through, but it was even harder once I was released bc in there it’s almost like you’re in a bubble protected from reality but once you walk out you have to learn how to cope and adapt to things that happened while you were in there. I love your videos and you’re so inspiring 💕
Or even motivational speaking sharing your stories & insight on important issues such as certain things that go on in prison. But like you said you have so much to offer.
1. You’re gorgeous. 2. I watched one video and instantly subscribed. You’re voice is soothing and I just loooveee your personality. 3. I’m from Baldwin County, AL and it’s so cool to see someone doing soo well so close to me! I’m a fan, girl! God bless💗💗
Bronze Beauty ahhhhh thank you so much babygirl!!! And you’re my neighbor!!! Hey girl heyyyyyy!!!! (P.S. you probably understand all of my country slanggg hahaha)
ive sadly been to juvie, life is very rough and i am trying not to go back. i have court tomorrow and I’m praying for the best. i try to use your videos as a reminder of what will happen if i continue. you prolly won’t see this but i love u so much girl🖤
I somehow just stumbled across your channel and I just love how real you are. My daughter and I started a channel a few months ago and I have a pretty crazy past and have wanted to talk about it to just be real and show people can go through stuff and come out on the other side a better person I have just been nervous. But watching your videos has helped me feel more confident in doing so. So sometime soon I will be making a video about my past experiences. Thank you for being you and being real.
I also found this Channel a few days ago, I think you are honestly the best blogger on RUclips right now! I’m 43 yrs old, I have 3 kids who are now adults living their own life, i had a hard life in the system too, but I’m so proud to say my 3 kids were nothing like me, all college graduates, great, kind hearted people. I was a teenager having my first child, everyone said horrible things because I was such a screwed up kid that no one believed I could or would be a good mom, My kids are great because they had a loving/understanding and present mother, where I didn’t! I was 9 when she put me into care, and every year when my kids turned 9 I would look at them and think I can’t imagine what they could ever do that would make me get rid of them. Sorry for sharing so much, I just seen a lot of similarities in our lives! Keep being you, you’re great
Girl!!! I’m crying and clapping at the same time and screaming YASSSSSSSSS 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 What an amazing feeling to be able to say that huh?!!! I know my oldest is leaving for college in the fall, he has a 4.55 GPA and my youngest has already a grade ahead and makes As & 1 B in a very hard private school. Both of my babies are so kind hearted and just great kids. As a mother it feels soooo good and I didn’t do anything special other than love the heck outta them! 😭❤️ So I feel you so hard right now. Thank you for sharing that with me. 🥰🥰🥰
I was an 8 year drug addict and would love to share some of my experiences on RUclips ...really love hearing your story times! Thank God for changing lives. He saved me, that's for sure.
Omg I would love to hear your stories some time. Congratulations for getting clean, I don’t think some ppl realize how hard that really is. Good for you love. God is so faithful. 🙏🏼🥰❤️
Omg Christina, now I am on a marathon on your videos 🤣🤣. This video is making me humble and grateful for what I have🙏. I swear I will try to complain less🤭
Our system is so broken tbh. A rapist gets a slap on the wrist but a kid who stole something and didn’t hurt anybody gets life plus 20. That’s so wrong.
My friends mother died while he was in prison and they brought him in chains and cuffs, we couldn't hug him or anything. Then my nephew died at 18 yrs of age and his uncle couldn't go to funeral. Thank God you had your baby after you got out! One blessed young lady!
I am so grateful appreciative and just so happy, because you are using your platform to share with us all your own personal experiences to make sure none of us ever go to prison and make the wrong choices consciously. Lots of love Christina
Christina you inspire me so much girl, I am going through it right now and you really are an on going inspiration to me. I love how down to earth and real you are. I really level with you with all of your expirences. Please keep making videos like these. They really are awesome and make me feel less alone. Sending you all my love. Peace and positivity to you hunni xxxx
i think it's so interesting that the people who watch you range from people who've been in prison for years to younger kids who've walked the straight and narrow their whole life - i used to volunteer with the police in my hometown and I've never done anything lawfully wrong, but i'm OBSESSED with your channel, it's so interesting to hear about the American prison system because it's so different to the way it works in the UK (obviously both are terrible but the US seems a lot more brutal). Thank you for these videos Christina, they really are so influential
Marley 134 no, in some states (like florida where christina is from) life means literally your whole life. the +20 is for when you get 2 seperate charges (e.g. robbery and murder) and one of them gets dropped for whatever reason, you still have to serve the 20 from your other charge. you get a sentence for each individual crime you commit
Yes life +xx years just means those sentences run consecutively, basically to ensure they still serve a bunch of time if they happen to beat one of the charges.
Ok we need to get a petition for you friend that got life. I mean this is literally this guys LIFE we're talking about damn it! I can't even imagine. He should've rereceived 1-3 yrs max- not life. God bless ✌❤
I stumbled on your channel because I was putting in dreads and I am so blessed by this. I minister in my local jail and see all these things. The realities of concequences need to be heard. Thanks for spreading truth sister! God bless!!
I'm an EMT and got called to the prison for a male with a swollen leg. We get there and his leg is clearly broken but they didn't give him any pain killers and we were called 8 days after he had fell!!! We should of been called the day he fell but for some reason the prison waited to call us.
You're such an inspiration. You're a true testament that people CAN change even when ALL the odds are stacked against them in life. I've been through a period in life where I made some horrible choices and paid dearly for them too but I was able to turn it around and become a happy fulfilled person. I'm super proud of you! Keep inspiring!!! You're amazing girl! 💕💕💕
Would you be able to make a video about your mental health story from when you were kidnapped up until now and how you've dealt with things and how things have changed throughout the years? It's just amazing seeing how positive and inspiring you are after all that you've gone through. The light that you now possess and share on youtube is amazing. xx
i feel pity for the wrongly imprisonated but as for people who did bad shit like murder ( especially child murders), rape, assault etc can literally rot in there. earth has basic rules simply follow them. i like your videos because its letting people know that there are consequences for actions and the consequences aint cute
I've watched several of your videos now and I just really love the way you talk about these sensitive topics. You're very compassionate, yet realistic and matter-of-fact. While most people in there are paying for a crime, I do hope things will become at least a little better. 💖
You really touched my heart when talking about a family member passing away. I lost my grandma in prison only after being there for a month.. I couldn't go because the prison was on lock down because of covid. That was the hardest thing I've ever been through and I've been through alot. Some people in the free world who has never been in trouble before never even think about these things. You are so right!
You probably already know this but if you're caught up with business or travel, film a bunch of videos before you leave so that you can stay on schedule. I love your videos so much, you're an amazing RUclipsr
I lost my mother while I was in prison. This video was so hard to get thru once you mentioned that. I too, had an escape charge, but that wasn’t why I couldn’t go to the funeral. I couldn’t go to the funeral because it wasn’t at an “official” funeral home. It was in a family members private home. So I wasn’t allowed to go. I was locked up from 2014-2016. My mother passed summer 2016 just a FEW MONTHS before I was released. I will NEVER forgive myself, I can “heal”, and “grieve”, but forgiveness---never. Love you. Love your videos and honesty. 💕🙏
Oh. My. Gosh. My heart literally sank at the first sentence and I was in tears by the end. I am so sorry. And I am so sorry you had to listen to me talk about it in that way. My heart breaks for you. I hope one day you can find a way to forgive yourself. I’m sure she would want that. Ugh, sending you a long and tight hug!!!! I wish I could hug you so bad. I love you girl 💜💜💜💜
Thank you for that *hug* I needed it!! 💕💕 don’t apologize!!! You need to talk about what you talk about in these videos...HOPEFULLY people will hear what you say, and NOT go to prison! I wished I had someone to tell me all this stuff and maybe I’d have made some better choices....🙏 I do hope someday to forgive myself but keeping it all the way real idk if I ever will.... I hope you continue to grow and all your dreams fir you and your family come true!!! Much love Christina!
“U don’t have to give up on people, but don’t enable them” really hurt my soul cuz I’ve been in too many situations where I try to protect myself by not letting people like that take advantage of me, but then everyone makes me feel bad for not giving them a place to stay, cash, etc when I know they’ll just use it for something bad
I subscribed yesterday and I swear you were at like 24,000. Congrats on such growth in even just a day! I’ve watched a bunch of videos already! Thank you for sharing your stories!
Thanks for all this information Christina, these videos you make are so full of information for people to NEVER want to go to Prison! So Thanks for that! If they do end up there AFTER HEARING YOUR VIDEOS then they are just PLAIN STUPIDITY ON THEIR PART! Another Awesome video! Much Love Christina ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I found your channel today. WOW!!! I have binge watched all afternoon...subscribed and love your stories. So glad to hear you found God. Look at what you are doing now because of it...married, a parent and successful speaker. Congrats. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!! Keep being beautiful and on your path.
I feel like when you get sentenced 30-50 years, it's as if you've sent to another dimension. Coming out at the other side, you've basically time traveled. There's new technology, new laws, new inventions, new social norms and references...so much to catch up on. Crazy stuff.
Shit its like that after 5 years now a days lol
I TOTALLY agree with the insane sentences! Child molesters DO NOT change! They should be kept indefinitely!!
You are the RUclips breath of fresh air 🌬️
Awwww thanks girlfriend ❤️
Agreed, I've waited so long for someone like her to come along and be 100% honest and to share her story. She's amazing and I'm so happy to have found this channel 😊
Raquel McAnaney exactly why I love watching her
@@christinaarandall creeper
As a former public defender, I’d love to hear your experiences with the justice system before you were sentenced.
Great content!!

Omg yes!! Collab! What a fascinating conversation that would be!!!!!
I'm a nurse, I've had a few patients that were released from prison because they had cancer that was terminal. When they do this, it's usually very close to the end.
Compassionate release
@@kadybird4475 they will take them to a facility/nursing home/hospital
@@kadybird4475 No problem. Yes, if they're that sick they fall under being a "vulnerable adult" so legally they need to have full care :)
I've been with plenty of people locked up who had cancer and all they did was SOMETIMES give them medicine till they die. I couldnt believe they did that. I'm glad that at least at someplaces they'll release them.
My dad lost both of his parents, a brother, and sister EACH separate time he went to prison. He was able to attend his parents funeral, in hand cuffs and shackles 😩 guards on each side of him.

Aw man I’m so sorry to heart that. That’s awful ❤️
That's... heartbreaking. I'm so sorry ❤️
Thanks K 🙏🏻❤️
💔💔 Im so sorry, my father died suddenly of Cancer. I could not imagine him going through it that way, wow 😢

I always feel bad when I see an elderly person in those prison shows. I know some of them did horrible stuff, and everyone needs to pay for their mistakes, but it always pulls on my heart strings.

In most cases they’re pregnant before they go to prison
Lol… no. You think that is a torture ?
@@kirstenornelas881 ok?

You poor thing 😩

You poor thing!

I’m not sure how ur videos keep coming up in my recommended but I’m not mad, subscribed!
ive sadly been to juvie, life is very rough and i am trying not to go back. i have court tomorrow and I’m praying for the best. i try to use your videos as a reminder of what will happen if i continue. you prolly won’t see this but i love u so much girl🖤
Your sassiness and your confidence are infectious
That story about your friend who got life plus 20 years made me cry. That is really disheartening.
I somehow just stumbled across your channel and I just love how real you are. My daughter and I started a channel a few months ago and I have a pretty crazy past and have wanted to talk about it to just be real and show people can go through stuff and come out on the other side a better person I have just been nervous. But watching your videos has helped me feel more confident in doing so. So sometime soon I will be making a video about my past experiences. Thank you for being you and being real.
Oh yes!!! Please do talk about it!! 🥰
I also found this Channel a few days ago, I think you are honestly the best blogger on RUclips right now! I’m 43 yrs old, I have 3 kids who are now adults living their own life, i had a hard life in the system too, but I’m so proud to say my 3 kids were nothing like me, all college graduates, great, kind hearted people. I was a teenager having my first child, everyone said horrible things because I was such a screwed up kid that no one believed I could or would be a good mom, My kids are great because they had a loving/understanding and present mother, where I didn’t! I was 9 when she put me into care, and every year when my kids turned 9 I would look at them and think I can’t imagine what they could ever do that would make me get rid of them. Sorry for sharing so much, I just seen a lot of similarities in our lives! Keep being you, you’re great
Girl!!! I’m crying and clapping at the same time and screaming YASSSSSSSSS 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What an amazing feeling to be able to say that huh?!!! I know my oldest is leaving for college in the fall, he has a 4.55 GPA and my youngest has already a grade ahead and makes As & 1 B in a very hard private school. Both of my babies are so kind hearted and just great kids. As a mother it feels soooo good and I didn’t do anything special other than love the heck outta them! 😭❤️ So I feel you so hard right now.
Thank you for sharing that with me. 🥰🥰🥰

Tammy Demerchant you sound like an amazing mom Tammy :) great job ❤️
I was an 8 year drug addict and would love to share some of my experiences on RUclips ...really love hearing your story times! Thank God for changing lives. He saved me, that's for sure.
Omg I would love to hear your stories some time. Congratulations for getting clean, I don’t think some ppl realize how hard that really is. Good for you love. God is so faithful. 🙏🏼🥰❤️
If I ever get brave enough to post I will let you know girl!
Omg Christina, now I am on a marathon on your videos 🤣🤣. This video is making me humble and grateful for what I have🙏. I swear I will try to complain less🤭
Thank you for speaking for the elderly in prison.
You give me Alyssa Edwards vibes and I LIVE FOR IT. New to your channel but you're so real. I love it!
Our system is so broken tbh. A rapist gets a slap on the wrist but a kid who stole something and didn’t hurt anybody gets life plus 20. That’s so wrong.
"Baby feeders" omg that's the first time I've heard that expression... Lol I'll be using that from now on😂😂
I genuinely love this girl. Video hasn’t even started and I’m stoked to “hear what you have to say” 🥰🥰 🤗🤗🤗🤗
😘😘😘
Listening to your stories
makes me so grateful for my life!
My friends mother died while he was in prison and they brought him in chains and cuffs, we couldn't hug him or anything. Then my nephew died at 18 yrs of age and his uncle couldn't go to funeral. Thank God you had your baby after you got out! One blessed young lady!
OMG 100k IK I’M COMMENTING ON A RANDOM VIDEO BUT CONGRATS GIRL WE LOVE YOU
😂😂 baby feeders 😂😂 never heard that one before! Lol
Lol me either but it was pretty cool!!! 😂
😂😂😂
i say lactation station 😂😂
I am so grateful appreciative and just so happy, because you are using your platform to share with us all your own personal experiences to make sure none of us ever go to prison and make the wrong choices consciously. Lots of love Christina
Girl...those little things when you get locked up...damn I forgot...You just helped me get some gratitude for my life. ❤
Christina you inspire me so much girl, I am going through it right now and you really are an on going inspiration to me. I love how down to earth and real you are. I really level with you with all of your expirences. Please keep making videos like these. They really are awesome and make me feel less alone. Sending you all my love. Peace and positivity to you hunni xxxx
You give me such hope. I look at life different when hearing you described the conditions in the prisons. Thanks for posting.
I'm doing a lot of essays on the flaws of the american prison system and your videos are so informative and helpful (and so fun to watch|)
i think it's so interesting that the people who watch you range from people who've been in prison for years to younger kids who've walked the straight and narrow their whole life - i used to volunteer with the police in my hometown and I've never done anything lawfully wrong, but i'm OBSESSED with your channel, it's so interesting to hear about the American prison system because it's so different to the way it works in the UK (obviously both are terrible but the US seems a lot more brutal). Thank you for these videos Christina, they really are so influential
Ahhhhh I knoooow 🥺😭 and I am soooo honored!!! 🙏🏼💙 Thank you!
I think about a lot now that I'm homeless. I will overcome this! Thank you for giving me hope everyday❤
🙏
You posted this 3 years ago and I hope that your life is better now.
Life +20.... What a weird concept.. It just sounds stupid how they formulate that... Life is enough +20 won't change a thing :p
X-andra life is 25 years so plus twenty would be 45 years
Marley 134 no, in some states (like florida where christina is from) life means literally your whole life. the +20 is for when you get 2 seperate charges (e.g. robbery and murder) and one of them gets dropped for whatever reason, you still have to serve the 20 from your other charge. you get a sentence for each individual crime you commit
Yes life +xx years just means those sentences run consecutively, basically to ensure they still serve a bunch of time if they happen to beat one of the charges.
In britan life is 15 and you can get 7 on good behaviour that's for like murder
Came up in my recommended, you are marvelous!! So gorgeous, honest and humble. Something the internet lacks nowadays, keep doing you boo💕😘
Awww thank you A Mac!!! 🥰
Ok we need to get a petition for you friend that got life. I mean this is literally this guys LIFE we're talking about damn it! I can't even imagine. He should've rereceived 1-3 yrs max- not life. God bless ✌❤
I stumbled on your channel because I was putting in dreads and I am so blessed by this. I minister in my local jail and see all these things. The realities of concequences need to be heard. Thanks for spreading truth sister! God bless!!
Aw!!! That’s awesome!!! Thanks for watching ☺️🥰❤️
lmfao you said "they will never go through a drive through at Wendy's and get a frosty" hahaha I'm dead
Just found your channel and I’m so In love with you. “My beauties, my friends” I say it with you every time 😍😍😍😍
Yassssssssss 🥰🥰🥰 all the feels and all the love ❤️
I'm an EMT and got called to the prison for a male with a swollen leg. We get there and his leg is clearly broken but they didn't give him any pain killers and we were called 8 days after he had fell!!! We should of been called the day he fell but for some reason the prison waited to call us.
You're such an inspiration. You're a true testament that people CAN change even when ALL the odds are stacked against them in life. I've been through a period in life where I made some horrible choices and paid dearly for them too but I was able to turn it around and become a happy fulfilled person. I'm super proud of you! Keep inspiring!!! You're amazing girl! 💕💕💕
Was watching her yesterday at 55K and it’s the next day and she’s at 59K 🌸❤️KEEP GOING SIS
I like how you keep it 100. And you're a real humble person
Commenting before watching to say how hyped I am for a prison story!!
Yayyyyyy haha thanks love! ❤️
Would you be able to make a video about your mental health story from when you were kidnapped up until now and how you've dealt with things and how things have changed throughout the years?
It's just amazing seeing how positive and inspiring you are after all that you've gone through. The light that you now possess and share on youtube is amazing. xx
New subscriber here 👋🏾👋🏾 THANKS SO MUCH !! for not actually saying the "r word" && muting it .. Much respect to you for that ❤💕
i just love listening to her talk sm! she’s so relatable and where she has come from and how she has grown so much 😭😭😭
Awww Thank you Taylor!!! Your are sooo sweet ❤️🥰
i feel pity for the wrongly imprisonated but as for people who did bad shit like murder ( especially child murders), rape, assault etc can literally rot in there. earth has basic rules simply follow them. i like your videos because its letting people know that there are consequences for actions and the consequences aint cute
I've watched several of your videos now and I just really love the way you talk about these sensitive topics. You're very compassionate, yet realistic and matter-of-fact. While most people in there are paying for a crime, I do hope things will become at least a little better. 💖
i've been binge watching your videos, you really are amazing and inspiring! much love from France!
You really touched my heart when talking about a family member passing away. I lost my grandma in prison only after being there for a month.. I couldn't go because the prison was on lock down because of covid. That was the hardest thing I've ever been through and I've been through alot. Some people in the free world who has never been in trouble before never even think about these things. You are so right!
For some reason, having a strong woman say that we are her family makes me feel so happy
Your channel is a breath of fresh air on RUclips - you're SO real and I love it!
Watching this makes me feel very grateful. Thank you.
Your stories are eye opening. We really don’t think about life inside prison. It sounds terrible.
You probably already know this but if you're caught up with business or travel, film a bunch of videos before you leave so that you can stay on schedule. I love your videos so much, you're an amazing RUclipsr
You’re such an inspiration as a strong, genuine and compassionate person. It’s humbling to hear your story- thank you so much ❤️
I wasn't planning on spending my entire day binging RUclips vids, but I found your channel this morning and here we are 12 hours later...❤
I lost my mother while I was in prison. This video was so hard to get thru once you mentioned that. I too, had an escape charge, but that wasn’t why I couldn’t go to the funeral. I couldn’t go to the funeral because it wasn’t at an “official” funeral home. It was in a family members private home. So I wasn’t allowed to go. I was locked up from 2014-2016. My mother passed summer 2016 just a FEW MONTHS before I was released. I will NEVER forgive myself, I can “heal”, and “grieve”, but forgiveness---never. Love you. Love your videos and honesty. 💕🙏
Oh. My. Gosh. My heart literally sank at the first sentence and I was in tears by the end. I am so sorry. And I am so sorry you had to listen to me talk about it in that way.
My heart breaks for you. I hope one day you can find a way to forgive yourself. I’m sure she would want that. Ugh, sending you a long and tight hug!!!! I wish I could hug you so bad.
I love you girl 💜💜💜💜
Thank you for that *hug* I needed it!! 💕💕 don’t apologize!!! You need to talk about what you talk about in these videos...HOPEFULLY people will hear what you say, and NOT go to prison! I wished I had someone to tell me all this stuff and maybe I’d have made some better choices....🙏 I do hope someday to forgive myself but keeping it all the way real idk if I ever will.... I hope you continue to grow and all your dreams fir you and your family come true!!! Much love Christina!
Where i live it is illegal to pressure people to accept a plea bargain like that. That's against the principle of fair trial.
“U don’t have to give up on people, but don’t enable them” really hurt my soul cuz I’ve been in too many situations where I try to protect myself by not letting people like that take advantage of me, but then everyone makes me feel bad for not giving them a place to stay, cash, etc when I know they’ll just use it for something bad
Omgosh noooo. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad! You can love and support people without enabling or letting them manipulate you. ❤️
A minute and a half in and I’m subscribed, love your personality already!
Yayyyy thank you Alyssa! I’m so glad you’re here 🥰
Christina Randall excuse me while I catch up on all these videos I’ve missed! Haha :) thank you for your sweet message!
I have no idea why youtube recommended this video to me, but I'm glad they did. You are really lovely in your positivity. I subscribed!

Thanks for all this information Christina, these videos you make are so full of information for people to NEVER want to go to Prison! So Thanks for that! If they do end up there AFTER HEARING YOUR VIDEOS then they are just PLAIN STUPIDITY ON THEIR PART! Another Awesome video! Much Love Christina ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
