Teach your children impulse control and delayed gratification - this is exactly what a lot of this is- teaching patience is absolutely necessary esp with boys. I saw it in my son early on- with lots of hard work and teaching skills to deal with his frustration - he’s learned to be patient and THINK before he reacts. Once the mind is engaged in an adverse way it’s nearly impossible to change a persons mind. This is why people commit suicide as well.

​@M SD I think it applies to some (very few) people's experience with suicide and/or suicidal thoughts but definitely not the majority. Every situation in life has many possible variables for each individual. I have to agree with you for the most part here. I feel like too often people view suicide from outside the window and immediately begin looking for an answer, an explanation that is almost tangible. People have this need to rationalize things in ways that they personally can understand. This leads them to list out minor life struggles that stacked up for the reason behind it. It's not at all that simple and that perspective can be quite patronizing, ostracizing, and degrading. There's not a day that passes without reminders of how neglected awareness and education of such subjects are.

Especially when he went back wanting to visit the man a 2nd time that murdered a woman, a mother of a 4-1/2 y.o.babygirl, he told him he went there to rape the mom (which he had denied yrs prior when caught) - he admitted to slicing both the lil girl and her mothers throats leaving them for dead.

Yup, that statement caught my attention too. I honestly feel so sorry for him and in my personal opinion, I feel that his sentence was WAY TOO harsh on him. For one, he was only 14 or 15 years of age when he and his friend committed the crime. People at this age their mind is still developing, still don't grasp the severity of their actions, very immature thinking, act on impulse without thinking first, their hormones are everywhere and run strictly on peer pressure. Yes, what they did was horrible, absolutely horrible. But we don't know the circumstances of how everything took place. How their neighbors reacted when they asked if they could mow their lawn. Life is hard and it's even harder when one is born a minority. They didn't go out and have murder on their mind, they were thinking "let's work, make money and go to the fair!!" I'm not excusing what they've done, not at all. I'm just saying the punishment does not fit the crime. I have seem way worse offenders who were adults, who have planned out thier crimes go FREE! So to see this....its disgusting. He should of been out by 20 or 23 years of age. Life isn't easy for ex-inmates by the way, even if he were to of gotten out by 20years, just getting employment alone would be punishment. He would be punishment for the rest of his life because people DON'T CARE about rehabilitation, people are A LOT MORE INTERESTED in PUNISHMENT.

You had tears in your eyes about a DR inmate LOL oh booo hooo, crying for a POS prisoner, Geeez harden up would you. Tears in your eyes unbelievable how pathetic

[@julien.4617]

@@martinahelena347 It is not an eye for an eye, although that is justice. They weren't minding their own business. They weren't quietly just not harming others, unlike their victims, many of them were unproked assaulting innocents often children violently or killing to take another's property. They don't even deserve the delay they get until death. They deserve chaotic terror and pain the length of their victim's terror and pain. They know why they're dying. Why don't you have compassion for the victims and their families? Why the cold-blooded attack on society and the spit in the eye to grieving parents, spouses, children and siblings? Why doesn't this "compassionate" man bother to get both sides to the stories? Why so one sided? Visciously ripping everything a person rightfully has including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness from individuals. Those are their Constitutional rights that these heartless deplorables denied one or more people for selfishness.

I was at an Alcoholics’ Anonymous meeting one night many years ago. Crayfish Jack stood up and spoke. He was a very quiet, helpful and gentle man. He had just gotten out of Jail after serving a very long sentence for committing a murder that he had absolutely no memory of and as blackouts go he will probably never have any memory of it. There was not a dry eye in the room that night. He finished speaking then made cups of tea and coffee for everyone. He had committed the crime during an Alcoholic blackout ……. Alcoholicism is a disease. I just had to tell this story …… you see, we should never judge because we do not know all the circumstances surrounding a crime. Instead of judging and crucifying these people we should be praying for them for their healing and salvation.

I love how humble Sir Trevor is by not bragging to the inmate that he's met Diana, Princess of Wales.

[@Jayskiallthewayski]

Would have been cool though, Baer would've loved that.

[@EssieKaye-f3q]

Good point. But it could also be because he wasn't trying to build camaraderie with that killer.

[@Kimi_Adventures]

Hopefully Sir Trev found the Diana shrine weird. I sure did even though I love Diana too but he gave me creepy vibes

After these prison documentaries, Sir McDonald will never step foot in another prison. He said this was too much of a burden on his mind, being faced with detailed accounts of crimes.

[@EssieKaye-f3q]

But he did end up shooting a sequel.

[@williamrouse3510]

What a wonderful and Non-Judgmental man...Love these interviews.People deserve forgiveness.

[@justjonni9330]

The one thing I valued the most about Mr. Mcdonald while doing his interviews is never judged not one of those inmates. I myself support the death penalty, but after those inmates have received their judgments they are still humans at the end of it all and he treated them all with the up most respect! Well done!

[@VNP707]

He never openly judged them, just nodded his head.

[@EssieKaye-f3q]

We can never know whether he judged them. Keep in mind that he is very much in control of the character he is choosing to portray in this film. He certainly did a fine job befitting a gentleman with the honorific of "Sir."

[@caliboi6176]

This deserves all kind of awards!!!!

This man has earned my absolute and total respect as a journalist. Every single interview I've ever seen of his he has conducted with ZERO bias. He asks the hard questions. He is compassionate, kind, and respectful to every person he interviews without fail. He is truly an extremely rare breed in journalism, so much so that I would go so far as to say he's a dying breed of journalist. Never have I seen him push any kind of agenda and anytime he interjects his opinion he's clear that he's stating how HE feels about something without trying to convince the audience to feel the same way. His opinions are just a sort of manner of conversation with the interviewees and are never pushed as if they are how someone else should feel about an issue. I have such an enormous respect for this man and will watch ANYTHING he participates in because I know that he is genuinely concerned with getting answers from many different sides of issues and does it with such a respect for the interviewees and with a sort of tenderness and empathy that I see no other current so-called "journalist" do today. He's truly a class act who has earned MY DEEPEST RESPECT as a man and for his work. I just hope he has many many more years and projects because he's really one of a kind in this age when "journalists" are nothing more than mouthpieces for a given agenda and try shoving their agendas down your throat. His documentaries are ALWAYS left in a place where you've been provided many different sides of an issue and you are left to decide for yourself what position you want to take and where you want to stand. Just amazing.
