The ones I had to watch out for are the other cos. Meaning they would do things to you or put you in situations that could cause me harm. So needless to say i disnt last long. It's really sad that people on the outside are the ones that put fear in you. Some of the cos are amazing but others need to be inmates themselves. ......love you mom Christine. Great video. 👍👍👍👍

He was meant to serve life but he’s from a small town originally and word has got out in that town that he is out on good behaviour with a new identity the past few years. Media says he’s still in prison but there’s right to believe he is free. The Irish system is a bit of a joke, as is the UK system!

      Just because she reminds her of dolly, doesn't necessarily means looks wise, possibly their personality it isn't always about looks. You can have plenty of other traits that reminds you of someone. Anyways why bring women down they are both beautiful women doesn't matter who's pretty or whatever that's the problem with people they judge way too much off looks.

    It really is sad that people in the helping profession(social worker here) do not get paid enough. Risking our lives for very little paid and having to go through so much training and education is tough. Great video! Can't wait for pt. 2.

    Now THIS is the way to facilitate change! I am absolutely THRILLED by the content you've brought to this platform. Hearing from two people whose circumstances brought them together in conflicting roles, who shared many similar experiences from completely opposing perspectives is a real gift, AS WELL AS a WORKING EXAMPLE of what can be achieved on a large scale for necessary reform. Kudos to BOTH of you! Christina, THANK YOU for starting this series. (Believe me, you just created something whose growth will prove bigger than all of us, and I can't wait to be a part of it!) 😊👊👏⚡🎆📣📷💟

    You should definitely do this type of interview with a prison nurse! My mom worked at our local prison as a nurse & she has told me some crazy/sad stories. As a nurse myself, the way she has described the attitudes & behaviors of some of the other nurses & medical staff makes me so angry. I think this could bring a lot of awareness! Love you Christina!

    as a dad that’s been to jail and a mom that’s a nurse at a jail and a stepdad that’s a police officer all these videos are so intriguing to me. even though my mom only works at our county jail there has been WILD stories from her. from having to cut down a lady that hung herself from her bed sheets to someone writing he was going to violate my mom on his cell wall written in his own feces, these videos are just so interesting to me. these stories are so crazy and sad and wild and i love it. i just found your channel today and have bingeing all your videos, glad to be one of your new babies hehe (: keep up the great work and content! so proud of where you’re at and how far you’ve come❤️🤪

    I'm not totally sure how I arrived at this channel. I'm guessing it's because I watched Joe Guerrero's "After Prison Show" RUclips channel a few years ago. I do have two comments:
    1.) I really appreciate the *COMPASSION* that you both show here! You really seem to care about people!
    2.) Christina, I'm glad that you *SEEM* to have survived your prison experience and that you are showing such *POSITIVITY* in dealing with some of the topics on your channel.

    It’s unbelievable how different it is when you are an employee of your states DOC and an employee of a privatization company who is contracted by the county. During the 4yrs I worked as CO, I had zero write ups, zero incidents in my units, received EOM several times and received exceeds expectations on my annual reviews, I never received any raises in pay and was paid less than the new hires. Being a CO is not as easy as people think it is. During the course of my employment, my anxiety was out of control and I wasn’t even able to bring my anxiety medication into the facility and because of the environment I was in and not having the support of my superior officers during shift, I developed PTSD and heightened anxiety levels. It’s especially hard for female officers who have to deal with the sexual harassment, sexual innuendos or threats of sexual assault on a daily basis with ZERO consequences and there’s nothing you can do but endure it every single day. It eventually got so bad, I had no other options but to resign from my position, just to save my own personal sanity. The one good thing that I took away from the experience was that I did make a difference in several other peoples lives and have had their families thank me for treating their loved ones like an actual person and not a lost cause criminal. So there’s that.

They both deal with.significant understanding and low pay. I have mentioned before I have an uncle who is a sheriff and another cousin who is a detective. I can't imagine doing any of these jobs. I loved hearing these stories. I will see my CO cousin on the 4th of July. I will tell her to contact you. Hearing stories from other states would so cool. Hugs.

    I was r@ped at my place of work… that sh!t changes you for life. I’ve been able to overcome it pretty well, and now use my experience to help others, but I also got C/PTSD, which can be triggered by things that don’t even seem relevant.
    Those are the kinds of people that should be behind bars for life… especially if they show no remorse, or - worse still, like in my situation - believe that they were fully justified. Like it was their right to take that from us. They got sent down for a long time, but their sentences were reduced after an appeal. I believe they’re all out now, which is absolutely terrifying.
