Kids In Prison: Then & Now - Who Made It and Who Didn't a Decade Later

[@Sheeba1982]

Charles was doomed from the start 😩 As black mothers we gotta start realizing that active and present fathers are just as important as us mothers are to our children. ESPECIALLY to our little black boys. He needed a man to show him what being a man is and looks like. No kid should have to or even think about robbing or selling drugs to eat. A present, active father would have provided support for him and his mom. Bringing back a healthy family structure is going to be vital to rebuilding the black community. We absolutely have to be more thoughtful about who we decide to procreate with ❤

[@calvinchauvin78]

2 parent homes are so important. Kids need both.

[@morganmonroee]

I’m sure his mom would’ve loved for his dad to be an active father and good role model, I think everyone realizes how important that is . We honestly don’t even know what the situation was with dad for all we know he was in jail too. Whether mom and dad are together or not too many black fathers have decided not to be active in their kids lives. I hate that the narrative is always black women need to do better when it’s the men dropping the ball, and black women and their children are the victims

[@ThatChickKim]

I saw a wedding ring on her left hand, so I thought there was one in the household. But honestly, I don't even think that would've helped.

[@deirdrepasko9056]

I'm so happy to learn that both Colt and Miles paid their penance, survived, and strove for a better future, and remained friends for support. This episode actually has a happy ending!

[@CalamariProductions]

@deirdrepasko9056 - Colt and Miles are shining examples of second chances. They will always have remorse for what happened, but work very hard every day to be the best citizens they can be. We hope they serve as an inspiration to other young people who sometimes feel there is no hope after incarceration. Thank you for watching and commenting.

He DID want to change. But keep in mind the racial atmosphere 25 years ago in Indiana. This system is Really designed to keep people of color down. The whole damn constitution needs an over haul. We are working on laws and bi laws that were created 300 years ago. 300 years ago...the constitution was written with no regard to people of different race, religion, or creed. How can rules and laws written 300 years ago.... Legally still apply.... One love to all people who've been railroaded by a system that was stacked against you from the beginning.

These young people face the same pressures and same influences when they leave the system; Its not surprising that some of them turn to crime. Its heartbreaking, because if they had supports in place outside it might help them (some of them it won't matter what you do - but some of them it seems like they face overwhelming odds to re-offend

[@carrieanncancino5118]

They just did the programs to get out. They will do anything to get out. I went to juvenile and group homes because of my mom not wanting me after I stole candy from a store at 13 1/2 5 months from being 14. I ended up going to 3 group homes and completing the programs for almost 4 years and she still didn't want me. At home my sister at 3 was being MOLESTED by my mother's boyfriend id come home on weekend trips and my sister told me so I told my mom a d she said I was causing problems. Finally my mom took my baby sister to hospital and it turns out was right. I told my counselor at the group home a d they called cps on my mom s d that's the only reason she took my baby sister. I got out on my 18th birthday and still wasn't wanted. 30 years past and I begged to be in her life. My sister left my mom and her husband that raised my sister to our father's at 12 years old. I'm 13 years older than my sister she was born on October 11, 1984 and I was born October 28,1971. Now that my mom is 70 she is begging me to be in her life. All this time of not feeling wanted or even loved. No birthday party or friends over no taking me out to pick out clothes for school. No feeling that I belonged. I got on drugs after having 2 children and then got clean and sober and have been since 2007. I was nearly murdered in April of 2007 I was stabbed multiple times. The suspect was arrested and stayed in jail till his trial then was found guilty of premeditated attempted murder and 6 other felony charges and was sentenced to 22 years in prison and had a release date for August 2026 but I'm 2020 in high desert prison he was stabbed to death while fighting 2 inmates he died later that day. There were other attacks and stabbing and killings l related in other prisons tied to the guy who tried to kill me. I'm still without a mother she left California in December of 2019 I'll probably never see her again. Never hold her hands while walking through Walgreens or Walmart. Just spending time with her. She moved to Missouri vendor Colorado then to Wyoming where she lived with her husband who treats her poorly and used to beat her and then verbally abusive I would buy her groceries and he'd find out I did it and throw them away. My mom talking bad about me to him back fires because he hates me too for sticking up for my mom and she tells him she wants me in her life and he put a stop to that for 30 years. I'm 51 and just since 2019 she has been calling to have a relationship but I can't bring up my hurts she caused or she'll say I'm making her have a nervous breakdown. It's hard. I have a fiancee I've been with for 12 years who's also clean and sober and treats me like a Queen. I love her very much. We support each other. We attend AA or NA and do groups on the Internet like international marathon meetings which are so cool because you hear how someone across the world handles drug addiction and alcohol addiction. We get tips on how someone might do differently. I love my mom but she kicked me out the family when I was almost 14. So from a child to 51 I have lots of hurts and mental pain.

Amazing how easily fooled some people are, when it prison you've got all the time in the world, boredom sets in so you learn, you get educated, you do what you need to do to get out, for most the goal is freedom and if it means doing something you don't really want to do but might lead to an earlier release you do it. You've nothing else to do with your time. There's killers in jail that'll 'll teach other inmates, study the bible, offer help to everyone, be a model prison for 10, 15 years, impress everyone including the parole board. Get released and almost immediately seek a bloody revenge.

[@seanharris2985]

The problem a lot of times is the issues that got them there are still there when they are released. It’s hard to stay away from situations when you have nothing and looking like in the long run you will still have nothing or even less. A lot of these stories are sad bc you can see that the connection with parent and child is sketchy and distant. It is up to the parents to work harder and harder to not become a statistic or become their environment. We live in a time where excuses actually do look like excuses instead of reasons that used to make sense

[@CalamariProductions]

@seanharris2985 - you are right about the negative forces that often greet kids again the minute they're released. It can be a vicious cycle. Many kids have told us they see no hope and no opportunities in their future. Sadly, that can be a recipe for returning to the system. We always hope for the best, and hope that somewhere following release they find at least one person who shows them there's a different path. It can be a challenge, but we have seen many kids make it, so that gives us hope. Thanks for commenting!

People are so critical….poor people need resources, support, when the odds are stacked against you, including generational trauma, abuse, it affects the whole person. Especially if people have addictive personalities. Drugs, poverty, despair, illiteracy, is a cocktail of failure to thrive. Be more understanding of how WE ALL CAN HELP OUR COMMUNITIES. MORE HELP LESS JUDGING.

[@CalamariProductions]

@themamabeeexperience - "...a cocktail of failure to thrive." Wow, that's an excellent way to phrase it. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video and post your comment. We appreciate it.

14:22 what happened to black culture? When blacks were fighting for their equal rights under the law they were all well spoken, educated, family oriented, faith based people who only wanted to be treated equally as everyone else. Which i dont think was asking for all that much. They wanted the declaration of independence to actually mean what it says. Why has black culture gone to the gutter? Cant be racism. The blacks i speak of in the 50s & 60s were some of the most discriminated against ppl in the country yet they dont act anything like inner city blacks today. The more government came in to the home the more ghetto blacks have got. Its really striking, and sad, the nose dive black culture has taken in the last half century
