First Time Behind Bars: How to Prepare for Prison | Free Documentary

[@FreeDocumentary]

Shot over three years, the film captures their growing psychological trauma as their children and families face poverty and social shame, and the individuals charged face their fears about violence in prison and whether or not they can survive the loss of freedom.

[@PublicistForAlexRosenPPSETX]

​​@JhonnyCash-mo2wxyou don't know their whole stories...judge lest you be judged...but please, tell everyone how perfect you have been all of your life. The "violent" criminals, there was only one actually violent, one semi-violent & the others were non-violent. But steal almost a million dollars, and that's not violent, so it must be ok, too? I'd rather be around an honest murderer than a lying, manipulative thief, and that's coming from a CCO at an all men's, all security levels State Correctional facility. There's a lot of wasted life & wasted money on locking people up for extended periods of time, like the guy who was paralyzed after purse snatching. It's bad, yes. But permanent paralysis & a 40 yr prison bid? That's ridiculous! *Chomos* get less time for keeping the *kiddie ph0rn rings* (human trafficking) going & for ruining children's lives by *graping* & *m0lestin'* kids. Ok. Makes perfect sense.🙄

She stole a million dollars, and acting like she's surprised she is going to prison. She committed a crime. She's a thief, and sitting there giving a sobbed story about how she lost everything. Her home, her career that she worked hard for. Seems to me like you worked even harder to steal that money. Because that's a lot of money to embezzle. Did she really think she was going to sail off into the sunset? The nerve, I mean you got away with getting a little money. Then got greedy and wanted it all, and didn't care about the consequences until you were caught. So please save the sob story, about what you've been through or have lost.

That officers statement about investing money in the “front end” to circumvent the need for more prisons is spot on. Also privatized prisons that want harsher sentencing for profit are another issue that definitely puts more money into confinement than programs to mitigate the causes for the eventual confinement. There should absolutely be prisons because some people deserve to be there and should never leave them, but there needs to be a reexamination of the justice system.

What is the matter with these prisons? No humanity for a man in a wheelchair, making him crawl across the floor to be able to shower? I know he committed a crime, a fairly minor one at that, then shot in the back by a police officer, rendering him paralysed. It brought me to tears to see his distress! 40 years for stealing a purse, yet the woman who stole from her employer, a huge sum of money is not going to face anywhere near that! Is this the way the justice system works in the US? Beyond belief!

I know, I was disgusted with her behind. She only got 4 years for stealing nearly a million dollars. She wasn't listening to the expensive consultant hired to prepare her for prison. The fact that 8 months was even a discussion is amazing. She has zero remorse, or guilt for putting her father through this. She will do something far worse, after the slap on the wrist she got. She wanted everyone to pity her when she had to give up the dog. I felt bad for the dog. Other women have to give up their children, who are screaming, crying, and begging for their mothers. Those mothers will have to explain their actions to those kids one day. The dog can't hold her accountable, that's why people like her always have animals.

Better to just be yourself and hold your head high. Other prisoners will know straight away if you are trying to be something you're not. It's the way you carry yourself, even the way you walk. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Don't get involved in anyone's business and don't accept gifts from other prisoners thinking they are being nice to you, because you then owe them something,and don't have any debts to other prisoners from drugs they have supplied to you.

@@PGB19D …yeah, after she came to his room, begging for it, and refused to leave🤣 I don’t even understand why he was charged. In some states, what he did would have been justified. Glad he didn’t get prison time… his sentencing will help him towards a bright future. Hope the “victim” learns a valuable lesson after this, as well!

[@hitmandutch7544]

He is doing wonderful

[@scooterpush]

He needs to learn to keep his hands to himself. Especially women. If he's been bullied since 5th grade he should have learned some coping skills and anger management. Some people just aren't worth our time and energy. Don't let them provoke you into an assault or you will lose.

Prisons are dangerous because in most cases the guards and warden are more evil than the prisoners.

[@deadlyoneable]

Nah. Pretty sure the inmates are more dangerous. You seem to have the naive liberal mind. Don’t worry, I was like you too. You’ll grow out of it.

[@redghost3170]

@@deadlyoneable - Cute. But don’t compare yourself with me. Retired military and law enforcement, over 30 years. And I’m as far right as they come. Whatcha got now, bigmouth?

[@johnscott6960]

It's the element of the unknown that makes facing prison so traumatic. You just don't know if you're going to be dealing with corrupt guards, extortion, violence, sexual assault, gangs, riots or even situations that could lead to an extension of your sentence! It adds an element of psychological and emotional Torture which isn't factored into the calculation of a person's punishment. Loss of freedom and separation from family and loved ones for a given period of time is more than adequate for a person convicted of a serious crime. They shouldn't have to run the risk of additional suffering caused by unforseen aspects of the prison experience. That's not Justice in the truest sense.

THE BEST WAY TO PREPARE FOR PRISON IS TO NEVER EVER GO OR BE IN PRISON AND TO NEVER DO ANYTHING TO GET PUT IN PRISON.

[@SouthernGyrl]

Newsflash: its alot of innocent people in prison.....judges are paid on the back end to keep alot of these private institutions full. Attorneys lying for convictions so they can run for DA

You realize innocent people have been put in prison...also, people have been put in prison for unjust laws....

It's hard to imagine doing something that could result in years of prison.

[@wepsychoit2002]

40 years for snatching a purse 😮... served 14 for snatching a purse ?? And it was his 1st offense?? American sentences are insane ..... here if u snatched a purse you would get probation or 6 month prison if u had a record or a year or two if u was a habitually criminal . .and in no way could a security guard or police here legally shoot u running away. . I'm finding his 40 year sentence hard to believe

[@antoniofba667]

White supremacy/racism allows for Black people to be sentenced more severely. Been that way.

[@edwardkuenzi5751]

He turned a purse snatching into armed robbery when he took the security guard's gun. That's why the shooting was legally justifiable and that's why his sentence was so long.

[@Me-gc9kp]

...he was blk...and shot him in the back...uncaring judge, but GOD see and know all.

how did he lose his legs tho?@@edwardkuenzi5751

One of things in his favored was almost definitely the fact he was paralyzed and remember, his crime happened in the early 80’s. 40 years ago from today’s society. Things were different.
