Thank god I was arrested when I was... by the time I got to the prisons OB, she informed me I was 8 weeks along. That was 2 weeks after I arrived so I was 6 weeks pregnant when I was arrested.

For those that don’t know him . Sir Trevor McDonald is a distinguished British journalist and broadcaster, renowned for his tenure as the presenter of ITV’s “News at Ten.” Born on August 16, 1939, in Trinidad and Tobago, he began his career in the Caribbean before relocating to the United Kingdom in 1969. In 1973, he joined Independent Television News (ITN) as a reporter, becoming the first Black news presenter on British national television. Throughout his career, Sir Trevor has been celebrated for his authoritative presence and exceptional speaking abilities. As of November 3, 2024, he is alive and continues to be a respected figure in journalism.

[@MinervaAlvarez-dx3jc]

Though the fact that the USA imprisons the most women out of any country "speaks volumes" as the phrase goes. I think this documentary misses a huge amount of prison sentences for non-violent drug offenses (i.e. no child in their custody and not operating a vehicle at the time of using). Then you have another layer of women who get prostitution charges who grew up in broken homes or being trafficked. They get handed sentences for the only life they knew in a country that doesn't give them many resources like housing yet has high-cost taxes and goods. Not sure this reveals the USA as the "great and just" nation they are always trying to claim themselves as. Also take in mind, these prison sentences cost taxpayers more and more money the longer the sentences are (guards paychecks/benefits, food, utilities). And not surprisingly they keep these prisons filled over-capacity with non-violent offenses. And don't get me started on the US' for-profit prisons

When I had a chance to speak with some women in prison and look at their cases, I realized how many women were in there due to them being used by men or toxic and/or controlling family members, or untreated mental health conditions including postpartum. Yet some are given harsher sentences than males whom did more violent crimes. The western legal system feels the need to be more mad at women for some reason. I no longer work much with the legal system, but I will admit many things are more fair than I assumed. However, the matters that aren't fair are truly not fair. The justice system isn't the problem, it's some of the people running it.

[@inkdemon64mclemore57]

@sharrablackfire7337 I couldn't agree with you more. Granted that some are just born bad. But like you said, life amd it's situations make us into who we are. And when a life is just too much for one mind to handle, it breaks, and chaos happens. Addie was just a nervous giggler, nothing more. Some just don't hold empathy. So they judge while sitting on their self-made pedestal.

[@sharrablackfire7337]

@@inkdemon64mclemore57 Exactly! And she still freely admitted that what she did was wrong, that it wasn't worth it, and that she's going to keep her life on the straight and narrow once she's out so she can focus on her children. Sociopaths don't admit to wrongdoing. They don't own their actions and recognize the harm it causes to others. Addie was just a kid when she committed that robbery, and if her own family hadn't been one where her parents and grandparents were felons, she would have had the safety net and upbringing that would have prevented her from needing to steal for basic survival. Her environmental factors of no car of her own, no positive influences, no guidance on how to navigate life correctly were all contributing factors. She was definitely not one of those people who are born bad. I would not have been half as composed as her if someone started recording me for a youtube video with this kind of reach and told me that 2.55 million people would be watching whatever I say and judging me

Well, its kinda impossible, you would still have to break doors (damaging state property) bribe or blackmail someone (ofc illegal) someone, or something else. But yes, assuming the prison left all doors open, you would not get additional punishment. They would still search for you to serve the rest of your sentence obviously :D

[@Eisengras]

@@alpenjodel24 In Germany, escaping from prison is not actually punishable by law. This is because German criminal law acknowledges the so-called "natural instinct for freedom." The desire to regain one's freedom is seen as human and understandable, and therefore it is not considered a criminal offense. The legal basis for this can be found indirectly in the German Criminal Code (Strafgesetzbuch, StGB), as there is simply no provision that defines escape itself as a criminal act. However, there are limitations: any crimes committed during the escape, such as property damage, assault, or taking hostages, are, of course, punishable and will be prosecuted in addition. Relevant in this context is § 120 StGB, which addresses prisoner liberation, meaning assistance from outside. This is punishable, as is being armed or using threats of violence during the escape. Leaving the facility during temporary release or misuse of prison leave can also lead to sanctions. In summary: Escape itself: not punishable, as long as no further crimes are committed. Crimes during escape: punishable. Outside assistance: punishable under § 120 StGB.

This taught him a lesson that would remain forever with him and keeps him from breaking the rules. He thanks me for that till now after like 8 yrs since he did that, coz that prevented him from going to the wrong side and becoming a typical criminal. He was 14 when that happened. The judge even provided me an option to put him under probation, I said no to it and let him get his punishment.
