Those mothers should have been concerned before their children committed crimes

Took the exact words right out my mouth I was about post the same

[@loosescrews8106]

Thank you! Ever notice you don't hear from "Dads"? It's because these moms always talk about how "they don't need no man". The fact is children need both parents and these single moms raising boys ain't cutting it. They need men in their lives for proper guidance.

Im sorry Momma jail is not a day care center you son wanted to be Gangsta and now he in their with the other Gangster what's the problem.

[@garyhartley3680]

teach your kits how to not get in jail

[@tara100tp]

Did they fear for their sons victims? Where was that energy to keep them out of jail? Now they are concerned.

[@danasmith858]

It's just cuz they can't steal for their mama anymore

[@bluecollarbuilds]

It’s called jail for a reason. If you don’t wanna end up there then don’t commit a crime. It’s super easy.

[@abuhassan9321]

"Shit I thought the streets was horrible but the prisons just as worse". Well dam! Does this woman think jail supposed to be a safe haven???

[@Dakatari]

The changes the moms are asking for should have started before their children were locked up.

[@user-ir6dw2vi2j]

Dont treat them like wild animals? Then don't behave in a way that requires they be caged.

Call BLM they will help u. Since you didn’t teach your love one.

[@doriancoreyscloset421]

​@@Vbooker50 BLM is a defunct organization that doesn't exist anymore & really never did. Black people agreed with the sentiment. Why is the mention of it always part of white people talking points? The mention of it is foolish and ignorant in itself.

[@damarlinfoote1032]

How about you not fail as a mother by not having the right men around by choice that further leads to your sons going to jail....

[@abuhassan9321]

Curious to know how many times have their sons been locked up prior to this lock up. This should be more reason to stay away from jail.

[@yolandagailes5628]

After learning about the many problems with the leadership on the outside. They should be worried about ALL citizens, inmates, and staff. 🙏🏾🫶🏿 I pray the city, state, country, and this old world get it together sooner than later. 🙏🏾🫶🏿 May God be with you!!!

[@billyremmert7679]

if she would have raised him right he wouldn't be in jail crime is out of control in the police do nothing

[@kandieelise431]

She said the guards scared to come on the floors as they should.

[@debralocke4957]

Hell, I wouldn't either

[@marvinmorgan5168]

The county jail is not the Hilton !!!!!!,

[@user-ir6dw2vi2j]

Maybe those Moms should have thought about their son's well-being when they were raising them. It's a bit late now.

[@ronp-eb9bh]

It's jail, not the darn Waldorf Astoria!

[@ivanlowjones]

Momma's......don't let your children (sorry, churren as Memphians pronounce it) grow up to be criminals.

[@debralocke4957]

Mama shoud raised him right she wouldn't have too be concern about the jail. He put his self their.

[@marcuspowell6805]

It’s much safer in there! They will be alright 👍

[@newera7443]

Stop the cap! They’re in prison 🤷🏾‍♂️😊

Smh

Aaaaw. Poor convicted criminals not getting treated right in jail. Aaaaw.

[@kspen72]

Make jails a punishment not a country club.

[@queenjj201]

It's obviously not devouring these wild azzes out here now. What the hell they thought jail was. I concern is the employees. Getting a new jail is not going to change anything if they still don't have the staff. Put some deputy sheriffs in there. I promise there will be a change.

[@danthompson6067]

Your sons should have learned to not do the crime.... Jail should be miserable.

[@loosescrews8106]

Where are the concerned fathers? Oh, never mind, "They (mothers) don't need no man!"

[@IssacAintPlayin]

Lord Jesus help the hearts of the soulless people in this comment section those are still children & they are still human !

[@debralocke4957]

Whatever the reason was for him to get there, they had a family too, so they were human also.
