FULL GIRL CHAT: March 31st 2020 Should Prisoners be able to Play Video Games?

On Tuesday, we’re chatting about whether prisoners should be able to access video games and why we are so judgmental of others when it comes to money.

[@that_zulu_girl1908]

What Adriaan is trying to say is that video games seem more like a luxury than an actual necessity for someone to be rehabilitated in order for them to get ready to join society. And I agree, this should be subject to the nature of crime. For petty crimes, yes give those prisoners that console.

[@NancyRamirez-zh8ol]

I think what Loni said is huge, no online aspect to it, and monitored

[@Mamdrmamdr]

I think that anything that an inmate can do to have an outlet and to stimulate their mind is perfectly fine. The prison system is SICK as it is. The idea that people need to "pay" for making a mistake, or most times they’re actually mentally ill, I think as people we need to think about why we feel that way. We as humans have such a sick relationship with punishment instead of empathy and rehabilitation

[@kennedyp.a.richards2798]

Well I don't think that people on the outside should get to determine what happens in a prison setting. I understand where they are coming from but the punishment is being prison not and bring in prison has its limitations but as to whether you get to play all day is an issue because when one is sent to prison the judge can say you don't get to play or read or what ever, prison has rules that inmates have to follow. What is not talked about is how working in there as officer affect those people the suicide rate is much too high that is more an important issue to be talked about those people have family to go back to the level of stress that one has to deal with while working in there is mind blowing,it is said that the only profession that is more stressful than that of a prison officer is a solider,so if there is any concerns this should be the first.

[@mariaoviedo5881]

If people knew how many people are in prison for small nonviolent crimes (marijuana possession, for instance), they would feel a lot more open to letting inmates have videogames.

[@taiyonatiare7918]

They probably play games in there already. They already have phones and there are inmates with posting tiktok accounts 😂

[@uglypoopdoodlebob7]

maybe not video games. but books and things they could use to learn and grow

[@mypride_andjoy2269]

I believe there is books in the prisons. Like you could get books cause I hear people in prison just read all the time since there's nothing they could really do.

[@lovechocolatemuffins]

Books, sewing supplies, painting supplies etc

[@gaila.9852]

They included the original air date. Hallelujah!!!

[@gaila.9852]

There’s a difference between being proud and showing off. Everyone should know what it is by now.

[@NellieKAdaba]

👍🏾👍🏾

[@LarissaZavala123]

Agree 💯 percent with Adrienne. there’s other things for them to do then play video games

[@istoleyoursugar2015]

Y’all don’t think being in prison is already a punishment especially solitary confinement... it’s literally being in a cage (Yes they earned it) but they’re humans as well.

[@zonnanwoke2346]

@- i have never seen something so inhumane in my life. YOU deserve to be in prison for thinking a human being belongs in a cage to die there. there are other ways to correct bad behaviour besides prison. taking away someones humanity ain't gonna make them stop raping kids. if the world had less people with this kinda mindset, prison wouldn't be necessary. kindness ain't that hard to give to people. smh.

[@anayajones223]

Exactly and you would think that most of the ppl quarantined rn couldn’t do it for a year plus and they still have they’re freedom so imagine being in prison...you couldn’t

[@aliauguillard1441]

You are the best girl chat team on TV

[@freshangel1]

I am a lawyer working in a government institution. I was once standing in line with other people & lawyers (non - employees) waiting to file a certain document and this other employee lower ranked than myself asked _”why do you bother yourself, why are you waiting in line?”_ (I had done it a lot as I was helping a friend follow up a case) he said that implying that because I’m a boss in that institution I should cut the line. When your decisions begin to lack consideration for others and just logical thinking (what if someone in line had been sick, moved all day before they got there and really needed to beat time and be elsewhere). My desire or urgency to use the filing system is not bigger than the next man it doesn’t matter who they are. I LOOOVEEE MY ACHIEVEMENTS, I personally celebrate them but I didn’t get them to treat people badly. Ask yourself 1.why am I doing this is it for myself or others 2. Ask yourself how does it make other rational thinking members of society feel (I know we tend to disregard people’s opinions a lot in life but true living is when you’re considerate of others).

[@gaila.9852]

I love this comment!

[@gaila.9852]

Some people view prison as punishment, while other people view it as rehabilitation.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Yes, it depends on the prison too.

[@gaila.9852]

Nellie K. Adaba That’s a good point.

[@disneydisney1490]

I think it depends on the crime. For serial killers, rapists etc. it should be a punishment but for non-violent crimes it should be a rehabilitation.

[@gaila.9852]

@@disneydisney1490 I think rehabilitation for everyone but also punishment for the group that you mentioned is ideal.

[@ppeachdj2832]

Loni really stood out in this video. She’s soooo beautiful! Blue is definitely her colour! Girl crush here!🥰

[@gaila.9852]

I’ve aways felt so sad for people who can’t leave the house without putting on make up. You’re all beautiful as you are.

[@gaila.9852]

Adrienne’s new home looks much more cozy. (She has both house tours on her KZbin channel.)

[@gaila.9852]

“Don’t nobody wanna be reading no books all the time.” I live for Loni’s comments.

[@rebekah4761]

10:38 is a great one too.

[@gaila.9852]

Rebekah Duvall Hahaha, yes!

[@rakailw4836]

I love how she said that even though she wrote a book herself. Her and Tam are both authors. I would’ve thought she liked reading a lot

[@gaila.9852]

Rae Gw Liking to read doesn’t mean you want to read all the time.

[@jaimegiovanni838]

They have game systems ( xbox , ps ) in prisons already and have for 5 + Years. They can only have a certain amount of games and they earn the privilege in there

[@johanash2010]

I agree with Ade 100000%

[@LarissaZavala123]

Yes!

[@gaila.9852]

As always, they all look stunning. No wonder the styling team wins awards.

[@pri.sci.lla.]

Video games aren’t a right. They should be doing important/productive stuff like working (but they should be paid more!!!)

[@lynnramadan9855]

People shame and judge no matter what u do, live your life the way you want ladies !

[@darrenebanks7357]

Am a new fan I love this show you ladies are inspirational

[@tracy7732]

They have video games in prisons and have for sometime. Maybe not all prisons but I know of two that certainly do. They are still human. Not everyone is a damn serial killer in prison. Far out. The ignorance is strong in this.

[@tracy7732]

@- not all inmates in a prison are. Far out. No wonder America's prison system is such an abomination. The perspective in these comments is beyond ignorant. Prison is the punishment. But I don't expect anyone who likely has zero perspective into the industrial prison complex to understand that. A video game doesn't change the crime. All the comments about they should work, they do! They have jobs. They go to school. Inmates do all kinds of things to keep occupied and build skills. How a video game changes any of that I don't know. They have tablets in some prisons. Digital music devices. All sorts of things. And at the end of the day, I can guarantee you, there absolute basic human rights inmates would choose over a damn video game.

[@ManiB_4]

You guys are so amazing and hilarious

[@lonelystarr444]

yes keep posting! ivy watched literally every video lmao

[@vannaaexpress3813]

I feel like they should be able to do 1 physical activity thats "fun" and they should earn the privilege of doing something fun.

[@c4arla]

yeah and the whole point is for it not to happen again I dont want them to rot in jail

[@nessalee7981]

Loni !!!! Your makeup is amazing. Stick to this MUA

[@bervelymaake64]

[@sundayjoseph6288]

Happy to join you ladies in the house today

[@joannaedwards4504]

Those are reruns

[@LIFEwithAnsu]

Totally gonna miss tamera!!!

[@MajesticMyronn]

Here’s all I have to say about people judging others finances.... If ain’t your bank account I suggest you mind your damn business... if you have to take the time to scroll up and down someone’s page and type why you feel they should use their money for something else... that’s an issue... not everything you think needs to be said...

[@gaila.9852]

Everyone (in a happy and loving relationship) believes they have the best partner in the world. There is no reason to hate on Tam or anyone else who thinks their husband is the best.

[@therebex23]

Important to define jail vs. prison - jail is for short term sentences and prison is for longer term convicted criminals. I don't think someone who violated someone else's basic human rights deserves to have a "right to video games" or a right to anything non-essential. I do think that providing entertainment in an incarcerated population is a mechanism used to control behaviour (and avoid outbursts). Video games though? No. Books, board games, cards, crafting, communal TV...yes. I mean, there's a lot of everyday non-criminal people who can't afford to buy/play video games or their systems so why provide them in prison? If there was a clear benefit in terms of rehabilitation I might think otherwise. I also think that education should be a priority rather than the "distraction" techniques of being in jail - offer more opportunities to learn life-skills to decrease the chance of re-offending rather than buying video games.

[@IwasDiana]

I’m with Adrienne on this one

[@gio2142]

To the second point they made, we basically need to know that people will always judge you, for having more or less, than what they THINK you have. Crazy right? And then some just jelly....

[@davidpapp5985]

Here we go again with the violent video games lol

[@celest818]

Y'all are missing one of the main points. they have to pay for it. It's just another way for the system to get money. phone calls from jail and packages are over priced

[@MajesticMyronn]

Depends on the type of game... now games come in many forms you got board games , you got card games , you got physical games , and video games or technological games... if any of these involve stimulation where the brain gets so much energy and they release hormones based off a very violent game THEN HELL NO ! But if they are stimulated in a positive manner then go ahead , go ahead and play... and there should be a time dedicated to that without having it go on for so long

[@katie4395]

it depends on what they did if they raped, murdered, assaulted then NO because you are just rewarding them.

[@Julia93939393]

Tamera forgot to mention that she owns two houses 😅

[@gaila.9852]

Playing video games in prison is a privilege that should be earned.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Yes

[@KISSFanDan1995]

They should teach them how to use the new iPhone/technology. There’s been people who’s been in prison for 10-20 years who have no idea how much we’ve progressed in technology and how much different our world is now.

[@nkt.11]

Haha they put the date 😂

[@faridahnakayemba1496]

Loni today's look is fantastic Everytime l see a name Adam l remember Tam lol

[@freddiemax6865]

if i made a game in my company -> yhh absoultely but if i didn't NO.

[@jesuschild07able]

I don’t think you should tear people down. I worked with a girl all the time and when I would tell myself good job or get so excited about a new program that came out, she tell me to stop being prideful but then turn around and brag on how young she looked and how good she looked. And only her particular race looks as good as her. It was like why are you getting on to me for. I just got to the place and said yes I’m prideful deal with it.

[@lifeisbeautiful9455]

I don’t get why people post their life away on social media… they always post the good parts some of it is filtered and there’s others looking at their life and they are not mentally strong to handle it, so they have to look in themselves and wonder why certain things bother them. They covet and they shouldn’t.

Gail A. Right 😓

[@brendanb7729]

Speaking from experience, I don't think they video games should be allowed. Prisoners already have privilege such education and breathing. Some of the victims who bought the narcotics from

[@lizzgil4823]

This girl chat has bothered me a bit. They are really not informed. They think that these prisoners are going to be playing video games all day like there's no regulation and monitoring going on. Obviously these are privileges for those prisoners who are low risk with good behavior. I had an interaction with a man who spent over 40 years in prison and when he sat there with me in the office the man was basically not there. He is institutionalized. He did not know about cell phones or any technology or basically anything. He spoke a certain way and did repetitive movements. People even in jail should be stimulated speacially those with short sentences because they will be back into the community sooner than those with longer sentences. Of course there will be those who cannot be rehabilitated but they can be treated with mental health issues and other programs.

[@gaila.9852]

They said all this in the video. Loni mentioned no Internet, and Jeannie mentioned regulation and mind stimulation.

[@moisepicard5876]

I thought Tamera left The Real.

[@gaila.9852]

She did, and so did Amanda. They're still uploading old videos with them. The new season without them starts next month.

[@mimia.4810]

How is this imposing religion on you? He literally says "He is a God of free will and will only come in if you invite him" pretty much you have a choice to follow Christ. If you don't want to continue as you are. No one is "imposing" things on you or forcing you. No need to exaggerate.
