Definitely a pleasant person, a gifted storyteller, a little crazy and warm-hearted at the same time.The insights into the prison world are more exciting than any Hollywood film. THX
Jen, it was not a snitch, they were doing a tour and were probably told by the other canteen worker that you were there. If you had just removed the window cover and turned on the lights and told the girls in the bathroom to be silent, you wouldn’t have likely been caught. I would not have let anyone enter the canteen PERIOD! I would have passed on selling saboxen strips also. You could have made a good hustle by hustling tips from your customers.
GURRRRRL! This story had my a$$ in a full blown panic 😂Damn I can’t even imagine how you felt in that situation…. That’s what would have happened to my a$$ for sure! I’ve always gotten caught with everything I’ve ever tried to do🤦🏼♀️
Take control of your big, but overactive brain. Don’t replay a losing situatio over & over in ure mind. Instead, acknowledge that u lost a little battle, but put in your diary the lesson you learned, and then move on. Life is not about being a perfectionist. It is about not repeating mistakes. Be proud & easier on ure true self.
Thank you🎉 I am truly so touched to see that you cared so much! I have the most awesome audience and it’s comments like this that make me smile so big! I can’t tell you how happy I am right now… See you next week and thank you for making my night! ❤
Wow ! You had me so into your story about getting caught while serving time in prison , you sure took a big risk for the money , Thank you and am trying to listen for more of your crazy stories 👍
I think she may have been set up. I heard that inmates get jealous of other inmates who are about to leave, so they set them up to make them stay longer.
Thank you, Julie… And actually it’s funny you say that because that’s what I wanted to be growing up. I wanted to be a news anchor lol too bad. I didn’t finish that path, but I appreciate your kind comment! I’m glad you are entertained by my content, and I hope you continue to enjoy it. Much love and respect you.❤️🙏🏼
You are rediculously intelligent and your story telling ability os incredible. So entertaining with your attitude and choice of words. Awesome amigita!
Thank you!! Hope you laugh 😂 and so you know my bloopers are at the very very end this time, i placed them in the wrong section this video.. see you next week love!! 🙏🙏🥰🥰
I had periodically been checking for uploads from you and I guess I hadn’t checked in 2 months cause I missed your come back! I’m so excited to get my popcorn ready and snuggly my booty in on the couch
Thank you Kathleen! To know that you cared and took the time to comment, I just can’t say it enough how amazing you guys all are! It’s a comment like yours that has made my entire night, you make me smile so big right now.. thank you for contributing to that feeling of genuine support!! I really feel genuine love and support right now and that means so much! Thank you thank you thank you and see you next week! Much love to you ❤❤
In Florida, you have to work and if you’re certain age, I think it’s under 21, you have to go to school. But either way, everyone has to work in the prison… They don’t let people just wake up and go about their day as they please… Everyone is assigned a job and you have to get up and go to your job every day. The jobs also do not pay in the state of Florida… There’s only two jobs that pay and those are very hard to get. Canteen is one of them and the highest paying. Canteen pays $49.95 a month. That’s insane that they don’t make anyone in your state do anything unless they want to… What state is it out of curiosity?
GIIIRLLLLL you're finally back🥳 I thought U went away 4 good😭 I've been missing seeing& hearing U SM!!! Can't even tell U how effing happy I am to see Ur back😁😁😁
Glad you're back! I really enjoy your stories, although I have never been to prison I have been to jail a few times, my GF is in prison for five more years.
Thank you!! Your story is greatly appreciated 🥰🙏 I pray the time flies by for you and your girlfriend!!! Life will be beautiful afterwards!! No worries ❤️🥰 btw my bloopers section is at the end this time bc I put them in the wrong place 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ much love to you & your gf.. take care!!
00:18 since they were going around to the other canteen as well, I think you created suspicion by not unlocking the door as soon as they started knocking. If you had just turned on the lights and open the door, you would’ve shown that you’re not trying to hide anything and they would not be able to see the bathroom light coming under the door. Because your light would have blocked it.
this story is obviously not gunned but had me cracking up by how you were telling it especially when you were playing out the scene of you getting caught I could totally picture it 😂 amazing keep up the good work!!!
Btw. Knowing what I knew about prior to viewing...I was confidently certain you knew Better. Live and learn right? Glad your in the free world helping others. ✌️
Girl....I so feel you on the selling and I've been through the 'snatching' thing in my younger years. I did go to jail once for that, but after getting that out of my system, I'm always ordering stuff online and selling it at flea markets, festivals, peddler's malls. One day soon I hope to get a couple vans and sell novelties to convenience stores & gas stations. I'd love to save my money and own (or co-own) a hotel one day. I'm always thinking of ways to make money...lol.
Luv your content. Recently discovered your channel. What a great story teller. You've me loaded with even more questions & concerns for the main character, you. 🌞 You are very gifted. It sounds like you have a lot of life lessons to teach us. 😊 Do good, Be good 👍!
Thank you!! Your support means ALOT!! I’ll be back every week now with you.. hope you enjoy & btw the bloopers are at the very end.. I put them in the wrong place!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ much love to you 🙏🙏🥰🥰
I promise I will keep you guys posted on when it airs, and where to find it once they start advertising and I’m allowed to talk about what it’s called and where it’s airing!! ❤
I think i would have gotten in that bathroom & just waited for the police posse to come in & knock on the bathroom door to which i would have said "i have really bad diarrhea! I couldn't open the store door for you, so sorry! Ill be out as soon as I can!!" Worth a try....💩
It’s greed that will get you every time. And yes, there are eyes and ears everywhere and I mean EVERY and anywhere. You probably got too comfortable and also got snitched on. Much lovvveeee ❤️❤️❤️🙋♀️
Inside the inside of a box is literally the first place I would look for contraband. Always put it inside a package where there are 50 of the same packages- opening packages is too tedious
big THANK YOU!!!! Much love to you & thanks for the support, even in my absence… but I am back, and I will be here every week! I’ll let you know when the TV show is coming out but I’m back! Hope you enjoy… Much love to you again!🙏❤️🙏
What a story ! I think it was random and they became suspicious because it took you so long to open the door, but even then, once they seen the bathroom light under the door, they felt the need to check it out
I think exactly what you said is literally what happened to the tee… if I had not acted so strangely and taken so long, I think it would have been less suspicious. But all in all, when they saw the bathroom light as well, it was just over… Of course, when something happens, you always have that little bit of speculation nagging at you. Wondering if somebody told on you, but I don’t think they did, and to be honest even if they did, clearly I needed it because I didn’t have any business doing that dumb sh*t.. I always tell people that everything you do out here in the world you have access and can do while you’re in prison so if you have truly changed, it will reflect in your prison behavior, because if you haven’t changed, you will just continuously get in trouble for the same types of things in prison as you did outside of prison…
One thing I know as a retired C.O., there's no secrets in prison. That's why I never got caught up dealing with inmates. This situation sounds like a fluke bust.
That's NUTS that u guys have to do 85% time no matter what! Like that sucks!! Here in California you automatically get half time on your sentence ( so 50%) and thats applied to everyone like across the board for all crimes, from burglary to GTA and every in between. EXCEPT if it's considered a violent crime ( like if someone got hurt) that's the only time u have to do 85% like its only for violent offenders. Everyone else gets automatic half time. So if u were here in Cali u would have only done five years even tho u were sentenced 10, also ALL of the time u spend in county goes towards your prison time, plus u get a ton of time off by having good behavior and also if u complete rehabilitation classes in prison. Plus if u get degrees or certifications in prison that also takes more time off. So you getting certified to teach would have taken a few months off your sentence. So if u had done ur time here in Cali u would have only been in for about 3 years
I know… Don’t even get me started because it’s very aggravating. I hit my 85% mark about six years and I think, something around there and was no longer eligible for gain time. They give you 60 days off if you have not hit the 85% and that’s only if you graduate a vocation or get your GED. However, if you’ve hit your 85% before that, you won’t even get that. It really sucks!
Waaay back in the day, a friend of mine who worked as a CO, told me that they caught people painting pictures with crushed up suboxone (it used to be an orange sublingual pill before they switched over to a strip) and mailing the “paintings” to inmates who would then cut the paper up into pieces and sell the suboxone inside the jail that way. Usually it’s the COs who sneak in drugs but that time it was civilians getting creative LOL 😂 apparently they’d hide melted/dissolved suboxone under the stamp as well.
I feel bad for the time people get in other states. I’m from Washington DC and you would be surprise most murders here get 12 years or less (male) and females usually get 8 years or less. They believe in rehabilitation and 2nd chances here. It’s kinda crazy cuz the crime here is out of control. Dc already at 281 hom!cides and the city so small. Also it’s no bond here but 90% of people get release the next day. Even people with gun charges get release the next day on house arrest as long as they’re not already on probation or a repeated offender. If u have a regular robbery charge u coming home the next day as well unless u on probation or repeated offender. Armed robbery usually get 5 years or less….. I was surprise how people wit assault and theft charges got bond or had to do time. They gave me a $2,000 bond wen I was locked up in VA for theft. When I got locked up for theft in Dc I was home the next day but wen I caught a assault charge I had to do 100 hours of community service and anger management classes. Once I completed my probation on time they took it off my record. Dc have something called the youth act if u catch a charge between 18-25 and if they put u on probation then they will take it off ur record if u complete ur probation or parole on time. My friend boyfriend got arrested 3 months ago for a gun charge and having hard drugs on him & she thought he wasn’t coming home. He came home the next day on house arrest, he had no prior record. It’s crazy how lenient they are compared to other places. You would think they would be strict cuz this is the Capitol but nope they give slap on the wrist.
Seeing a new video pop up from my favourite RUclipsr has been the highlight of my day! So glad to see you're still going! BTW I'm always looking for opportunities to work on my video editing skills, so if you'd ever like some free editing assistance, I'd love to help you out with that and get some more practice. Hope your channel continues to grow!
Quick question. Could you of yelled im using the bath room And diverted them for a few minutes ?? Like would they have walked away and came back later ?
I could have done that… Then tried to compose myself and come to the door. Because that staff member, the lady, didn’t know me and said wanted to walk through my store.. she may have for that anyhow and then I would have been caught because there’s no way to hide the people in the bathroom. However, if I would’ve come to the door a little more put together without stuff on the floor and looking crazy, she may have just talked to me at the door. I just did it all wrong because they freaked me out and I panicked… But there is a 50-50 that would have worked. For sure..
I could also have contested the DR and said it was the last person in the store.. but that one I don’t think I would’ve won just because every time someone is taken out of a store, voluntarily or otherwise, the entire store is searched and inventoried out to find out what’s in there and what’s missing from the last person so that you can start new with a clean slate, and even if they don’t search every single solitary thing like every denture cup, they would’ve said that they did just to solidify the DR. All pretty good points though, i gotta say.. I know you will never go, but you definitely would have been one of those that gets out of every single situation till eventually they just leave you alone because they don’t wanna fight with you about it 😂 fr
Thanks for your stories. I first saw you on another podcast.Please do a podcast on ...... Whenever I ask a person that's been in jail what it was like they always say I don't want to talk about it!!! I have always thought it was maybe the dropping of the soap senecio??? But there has to be more??? Just curious. I hope that makes sense 😅
Jen, I hate Florida knowing they could lock you up. Your stories are incredible and I hope you never get victimized buy another man again. Think positive & enjoy your freedom. 😻👍🍀🏖
Wow I don’t think I would have ever been a criminal in FL JUST KNOWING YOU DO 85 percent!!! just a few hundred miles away you do 30 PERCENT IN AL!!! Makes me want to cry for you Jen, you didn’t deserve to do such a long sentence girl.
I think it could be either a set up based on fact that so many ppl got popped at that canteen but also could be that the other employee who is in good with the commander is snitching. I don’t think it was random.
That SUCKS!! And you got out at the worst possible time. Right before the pandemic. Thank god we (I too live in Florida) live in Florida and things were a lot more normal than other states. My daughter lives in New York and in grad school at the time and came down here and stayed several months. I get it tho. Greed will get you and honestly - I probably would have done the same.
Jen, let me tell you that I never would have had the nerve to attempt what you did. I am surprised you went for that so close to getting out. I personally think the higher-ups might have been watching the canteen since so many prior employees had been getting replaced for misconduct.
I think someone told either about the drugs or associates in bathroom or both, cause why would they force themselves in your canteen and not the other one? Either way everyone makes mistakes all you can do you is live in the present and do your best! BTW I love the bloopers!❤️
Thank you for coming! I appreciate your support more than you know! Much love and respect to you from the bottom of my heart. Hope you continue to enjoy my journey. 🙏🏼❤️
What could have got you is your cash app receiving a lot of money in a short period of time was a red flag for the authorities, or you got set up by other inmates who were envious of your early release.
I would’ve challenged that possession charge because the drugs weren’t on your person so, there’s technically no proof they were yours. It could’ve been the girls in the bathroom that brought them in LOL You were so close to the end of your sentence though… sometimes you just gotta pick your battles & ride it out.
Absolutely… You do have to pick and choose at the end, but you are right about what you suggested ..Only thing about that is they search every store after someone is taking out and inventory every item. Even though they may not search every single thing like every denture cup, they would’ve said they did just to solidified the DR and make it stick. However, that was a really smart thought and there’s a chance it would have worked, they’re just so dirty that they like to make things stick, even if it’s in a corrupt way. Really good thinking though I can’t take that away from you! 👌
Yeah I'd say you made a mistake because if they were going to all the canteens then it was just routine. It's tempting to take the money but yeah I wouldn't have allowed them in the bathroom because don't they cameras to see who goes in and out?
Girl WITH insurance I was paying 150 to see the dr (he was out of network) and then 600 for the script every month so almost 800 every month to be sober.. was total BS 😒 i know ppl that get it for free tho, just depends where you live, where u go and your insurance
Someone definitely told on you somewhere. If they were really hidden as good as you say, sound like they tore that place up like they knew they were gonna find somwthing
Guys.. my BLOOPERS are at the end after the thank you song.. sorry I put them in the wrong place but they are there!!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😂😂
If 'Orange Is The New Black' comes out with a new reboot,they DEFINITELY need to put your ass on there!
I was cracking up. You’re the best storyteller. Best looking storyteller too 😊
Definitely a pleasant person, a gifted storyteller, a little crazy and warm-hearted at the same time.The insights into the prison world are more exciting than any Hollywood film. THX
This gal could run a company. My boss owned a gift shop at Bush airport in Houston. He made a million on water & cokes a year. She should do that. 👍😎
I could listen to hours of this. Jen Jen is the most fluent in colorful expressions I've ever heard. FAB.
Jen, it was not a snitch, they were doing a tour and were probably told by the other canteen worker that you were there. If you had just removed the window cover and turned on the lights and told the girls in the bathroom to be silent, you wouldn’t have likely been caught. I would not have let anyone enter the canteen PERIOD!
I would have passed on selling saboxen strips also. You could have made a good hustle by hustling tips from your customers.
GURRRRRL! This story had my a$$ in a full blown panic 😂Damn I can’t even imagine how you felt in that situation…. That’s what would have happened to my a$$ for sure! I’ve always gotten caught with everything I’ve ever tried to do🤦🏼♀️
Take control of your big, but overactive brain. Don’t replay a losing situatio over & over in ure mind. Instead, acknowledge that u lost a little battle, but put in your diary the lesson you learned, and then move on. Life is not about being a perfectionist. It is about not repeating mistakes. Be proud & easier on ure true self.

@@jenjengomez great story. Yeah that greed will get u every time
They don’t make anyone get a ‘job’ or take schooling in men’s prison. It’s optional. You apply for what you want, and go from there.
In Florida, you have to work and if you’re certain age, I think it’s under 21, you have to go to school.

Maybe in the system you were in, but not all

I was surprise how people wit assault and theft charges got bond or had to do time. They gave me a $2,000 bond wen I was locked up in VA for theft. When I got locked up for theft in Dc I was home the next day but wen I caught a assault charge I had to do 100 hours of community service and anger management classes. Once I completed my probation on time they took it off my record. Dc have something called the youth act if u catch a charge between 18-25 and if they put u on probation then they will take it off ur record if u complete ur probation or parole on time. My friend boyfriend got arrested 3 months ago for a gun charge and having hard drugs on him & she thought he wasn’t coming home. He came home the next day on house arrest, he had no prior record. It’s crazy how lenient they are compared to other places. You would think they would be strict cuz this is the Capitol but nope they give slap on the wrist.
Great story telling, love the channel
Seeing a new video pop up from my favourite RUclipsr has been the highlight of my day! So glad to see you're still going! BTW I'm always looking for opportunities to work on my video editing skills, so if you'd ever like some free editing assistance, I'd love to help you out with that and get some more practice. Hope your channel continues to grow!
Thank you so much Kyle and I absolutely will be talking to you soon about editing! I need about all the help I can get now as well… 🙏🥰
You are an amazing story teller…..
Quick question. Could you of yelled im using the bath room
And diverted them for a few minutes ?? Like would they have walked away and came back later ?
Also, could you of contested the DR at your hearing ? Said it must of been the last person who had the store ?
I could have done that… Then tried to compose myself and come to the door. Because that staff member, the lady, didn’t know me and said wanted to walk through my store.. she may have for that anyhow and then I would have been caught because there’s no way to hide the people in the bathroom. However, if I would’ve come to the door a little more put together without stuff on the floor and looking crazy, she may have just talked to me at the door. I just did it all wrong because they freaked me out and I panicked… But there is a 50-50 that would have worked. For sure..
I could also have contested the DR and said it was the last person in the store.. but that one I don’t think I would’ve won just because every time someone is taken out of a store, voluntarily or otherwise, the entire store is searched and inventoried out to find out what’s in there and what’s missing from the last person so that you can start new with a clean slate, and even if they don’t search every single solitary thing like every denture cup, they would’ve said that they did just to solidify the DR. All pretty good points though, i gotta say.. I know you will never go, but you definitely would have been one of those that gets out of every single situation till eventually they just leave you alone because they don’t wanna fight with you about it 😂 fr
May you never go back! AND LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!😢
Thanks for your stories. I first saw you on another podcast.Please do a podcast on ...... Whenever I ask a person that's been in jail what it was like they always say I don't want to talk about it!!! I have always thought it was maybe the dropping of the soap senecio??? But there has to be more??? Just curious. I hope that makes sense 😅
Love u Jenn you r awesome and always have been ❤🎉
Jen, I hate Florida knowing they could lock you up. Your stories are incredible and I hope you never get victimized buy another man again. Think positive & enjoy your freedom. 😻👍🍀🏖
Wow I don’t think I would have ever been a criminal in FL JUST KNOWING YOU DO 85 percent!!! just a few hundred miles away you do 30 PERCENT IN AL!!! Makes me want to cry for you Jen, you didn’t deserve to do such a long sentence girl.
MI has truth in sentencing. Even if you do everything right and are a model inmate. You still serve your entire sentence. I do not think that is fair.
Missed ya girl!
Thank you 🙏🥰❤️
I think it could be either a set up based on fact that so many ppl got popped at that canteen but also could be that the other employee who is in good with the commander is snitching.
I don’t think it was random.
That SUCKS!! And you got out at the worst possible time. Right before the pandemic. Thank god we (I too live in Florida) live in Florida and things were a lot more normal than other states. My daughter lives in New York and in grad school at the time and came down here and stayed several months. I get it tho. Greed will get you and honestly - I probably would have done the same.
I wish I could be a guest on your show.But I have never been to prison.LOL
My love 😍…. I saw you on Matt Cox and was just love at first sight.
Jen, let me tell you that I never would have had the nerve to attempt what you did. I am surprised you went for that so close to getting out. I personally think the higher-ups might have been watching the canteen since so many prior employees had been getting replaced for misconduct.
I think someone told either about the drugs or associates in bathroom or both, cause why would they force themselves in your canteen and not the other one? Either way everyone makes mistakes all you can do you is live in the present and do your best! BTW I love the bloopers!❤️
That was an interesting story I was listening too while hauling pipe up to Pennsylvania!!Thursday evening 6/20/24 so hit the like and sub button!!
The Matthew Cox interview brought me here.
Thank you for coming! I appreciate your support more than you know! Much love and respect to you from the bottom of my heart. Hope you continue to enjoy my journey. 🙏🏼❤️
She could do standup, she's a crack up!
Well spoken and beautiful!
What could have got you is your cash app receiving a lot of money in a short period of time was a red flag for the authorities, or you got set up by other inmates who were envious of your early release.
Does anyone else do a little dance to her intro?? I be like do do do do do do do do do do do
I would’ve challenged that possession charge because the drugs weren’t on your person so, there’s technically no proof they were yours. It could’ve been the girls in the bathroom that brought them in LOL You were so close to the end of your sentence though… sometimes you just gotta pick your battles & ride it out.
Absolutely… You do have to pick and choose at the end, but you are right about what you suggested ..Only thing about that is they search every store after someone is taking out and inventory every item. Even though they may not search every single thing like every denture cup, they would’ve said they did just to solidified the DR and make it stick. However, that was a really smart thought and there’s a chance it would have worked, they’re just so dirty that they like to make things stick, even if it’s in a corrupt way. Really good thinking though I can’t take that away from you! 👌
Yeah I'd say you made a mistake because if they were going to all the canteens then it was just routine. It's tempting to take the money but yeah I wouldn't have allowed them in the bathroom because don't they cameras to see who goes in and out?
What did you do? Were you in chowchilla?
🎉I was in Egyptian jail for 5 days. It sucked
Great story!
I think you were snitched on. You really learned some hard life lessons.
This story is providing the age old saying ‘there’s no smart people in prison’.
U dont over explain you make your conversation clear.
Great stories
What is the show called? Can you say it now?
I love your stories jen and your so beautiful jen 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Girl that was were I made the most😂 I did it every weekend officers knew too I did 15 min 100
Why would you do this? You were so close to getting out. I just don’t get it.
Just subscribed to your channel..
Im proud of you.
generic suboxone 8/2 costs me $280 for 90 so your numbers are right on.
Great and informative video
Girl WITH insurance I was paying 150 to see the dr (he was out of network) and then 600 for the script every month so almost 800 every month to be sober.. was total BS 😒 i know ppl that get it for free tho, just depends where you live, where u go and your insurance
sooo, no cameras?!
Someone definitely told on you somewhere. If they were really hidden as good as you say, sound like they tore that place up like they knew they were gonna find somwthing
I love you and your stories jen and your so beautiful jen
Love your channel.
You received a harsh sentence. So where are you now? Are you living with your parents? Do you have a job, how are you staying clean, etc.?
