THE REALITY of SERVING LIFE in ANGOLA/LOUISIANA.

[@emmahamilton2484]

It's amazing how some people die in prison while others who commit the same crime or worst never get jail time or never charged depending on their race, economics, demographic, or who they are and who they know.

What an amazing channel you all have here, these stories must be told. I've watched almost every one of them. Almost every one of these guys seem like very self aware, intelligent, ompassionate men, some things that just come with age and maturity. They seem very remorseful and appear to have been rehabilitated. The common denominator with all of their decision making was youth and ignorance.

I've been to prison and fully understand the situation, but I also have family members and friends that have been murdered,so to be honest, I got no sympathy for a killer or a child molester, it's easy to want to change after the deed is done but that don't bring back loved ones or the hurt they may have caused so it is what it is

[@maxday1000]

But wait a minute, what about the people who was falsely accused? We need to start to speak against the system. What about the judges, the lawyers the attorneys the d A's the police officers and police departments. Some of your city officials, and activist, doing evil things behind closed doors. But they sit up there and convicting other wrongdoers, but they're doing the same behind closed doors, make it make sense.

[@sbadiyahaustin]

i've had a family member murdered and i still don't believe in a life for a life. people change. a teenage brain isn't even fully developed. so, yes after they've served a good number of years (10-30 years) they should be able to re-enter society.

[@ramsnroses_tv334]

@@sbadiyahaustinsame I had a family member taken from us and I didn’t wish nor want life for the women who did it. Just growth forgiveness and her to be forgiven. She will learn nothing from life as at the point she has no life to look forward to. Nor does she or would she have had anything to want to be better for. Many people act in emotion and don’t realize fully what was done until afterwards. Much of the time it’s a quick second act that is never thought out and many wish they could re-alive that person

[@mr.meeseeks2519]

If the victims were 💯 innocent (not gang related or in the streets) I don’t believe the perpetrator needs to spend the rest of their life in prison. Now if the victim was honest American, not in the streets, they should spend the whole life looking at those 5 walls

[@gamenshorts]

For the family of the murdered victims, we can’t let these guy out

[@gfujigo]

If your son was in the same situation, would you not want your son let out even if they have grown? Would you want your son to stay locked up forever no matter what if they were sentenced to life without parole? I am curious. Thanks!

[@gamenshorts]

@ yes, I would want my son out. I’m from Chicago I have family members serving life without parole and I’d go visit them. But on the flip side if a family member of yours was killed would you want the murderer out?

[@gfujigo]

@@gamenshorts You ask a good question. I am not sure. If someone killed my family member I would not want them out. I would be angry and hurt. However, as a devout Christian, I am reminded of Jesus’ teachings not just about forgiveness, but about doing to others what we want done to us. If I were in their situation, I would want a second chance if I have grown and am a new person. So no, I would never want them out. However, thinking about what Jesus said, I would consider forgiving them. It’s a tough situation to be sure. Also, thanks for answering my question.

[@Miamora909]

The reality is both feeling are valid. The family of the victim should want them locked up forever and the family of the perpetrator should want them out. Both sides make sense

As a man it hurts me to see this however, I can't n don't feel sorry for them! They say they change n I believe them but you have to make them changes before you take someone's life for whatever reason. And No they don't deserve a second chance at life simply because their vitamins don't get that opportunity! We have to remember them and I am sure they would want to still be here. You take someone's life then you Surrender yours!

[@dennieraw5867]

I agree! You can't bring someone back!! Why do they deserve a chance 🤔 not the innocent ,I mean the guilty! I don't give a fuck if he 100! Take a life u give yours because if it's my kids or wife or family period!! I don't wanna see you living good at all!!!

For the fact IF I EVER ENDED UPBIN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE AND WAS GOING TO TRIAL AND IM LOOKING AT LIFE NO POROLE OR DEATH…. Give me death!!!!!! That’s no way to live, it’s gana make me a worse person than I ever was outside of there and it’s the opposite of how the victims family would want me to be. To sit there alone and think about what I’ve done and repent and suffer thinking about the victim the rest of my life…. THATS NOT PRISON! Prison makes you worse! And you ain’t thinking about the victim in that case cause there’s soooo many more going on and around you cause you have to!!!!

In all states many people are sent to prison for a murder that they did not commit because the murderer looked like them. In most cases the actual murderer never murders again.

[@tipsandtricks6071]

🤔 The problem here is that these men don't want the same punishment they gave their victims.

[@ATAplayallday]

You missed the message. They are taking accountability they just want forgiveness for their crimes. A second chance at free world life. If only you studied law you would understand a lot of people who are NOT locked commit crime but never got caught! Also, some people are actually innocent. And then again you have who are actually REHABILITATED but stuck in their sentences.

[@tipsandtricks6071]

@ATAplayallday I am more than aware of everything you're saying. However, the fact still remains. Full accountability means taking the sentence you are given for the crime if you did it. If you take an innocent life, full accountability would be to serve life. The victims deserve justice, we keep forgetting about the victims and their suffering.

[@ATAplayallday]

@ no one has forgot the victims CLEARLY they’re serving time for the crimes. You act like they are in a mansion in the hills. Jails and prisons are HORRIBLE and inhuman most cases. That same mindset you have remember that when it’s time for you to face God. You don’t forgive neither will you.

[@tipsandtricks6071]

@ATAplayallday I donate to three charities. I have done it ever since I got out of high school. I consistently donate blood. I donate to my church and I always keep singles on me to give to the homeless. This doesn't include the kindness that I show others in other ways. I grew up in the hood and saw every type of criminal. I believe in justice and mercy. However, these men who are guilty, if they are guilty, chose to do evil. Over the years, I consistently saw people who chose to do evil over good. It appears that you seem to have more compassion for the criminals than you do the innocent victims who suffer everyday in their neighborhoods because of criminals. Either way, in life or death justice will be served. As for me, I have a decent understanding of scriptures. God provides forgiveness but also judgment. David in the Bible was forgiven for his sins with Bathsheba but he was also punished severely. Moses sinned against God and was forgiven but was punished severely and not allowed into the promised Land. I could go on but scriptures clearly detail that you may be forgiven but in many ways there is a price to pay for your sins in "this" life.
