​@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.

Greatest respect for your honesty and the respectful way you talk with the people in prison, making a documentary in a fair way

Not excusing any of these inmates for their crimes, but what an amazing look into humanity itself. How each person searches for meaning and purpose even when confined to a cage for life. This prison is quite impressive - seems to be a model of a well-run establishment. I am shocked at the lack of chaos and violence among potentially seriously dangerous criminals. Amazing!!

A woman who abused and lost custody of 2 children, then killed a third is going home, and her post-partum was taken into consideration. But Cindy had been repeatedly abused by her father, then in the home she burnt. I truly believe she never wanted to hurt anyone she was just trying to get anyone to listen and help.

Well, she's right. She has a life and she took another life. Did you miss all the times she called him "her son"? Probably not. You just cherry picked and created a fake outrage. And you must have also missed that it had been about 15 YEARS! That's almost 5,500 days. Do you expect her to still be crying on the 5,500th day? That would make anyone go insane. She's coping with her crime the best she can. People like you are insufferable.

@@akshay9602 I agree with that. There is absolutely discrimination against men in the justice system, but you'll never hear about it from the BS "equality" groups. My comment was referring to the armchair psychologists who think when someone says "the baby" or when they say "another life" it means they don't care about the person. Some people just speak differently. I've heard many loving parents refer to their child as "the boy" or "the kid" or "the baby".

Yesss pleaseee SIR!

To see the difference between an inmate who has the ability to ‘escape’ via books vs. the one who’s options are reruns on TV and cleaning makes one take pause.

I really respect how the superintendent and interviewer both treat those men. They understand what they are capable of. But they treat and speak to them respectfully. And they seem to respect them as well.

I almost felt sorry for a few of them, until they described what they did with a smile on their face. Something so unsettling about their smiling while retelling their stories.

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

This guy's good at what he does. He asks some hard questions but does it in a way as to not offend or sound harsh. More understanding or attempting to understand

Sir Trevor MacDonald did a wonderful job. He was polite, fair and respectful but you could tell he knew exactly who he was dealing w. Intelligent investigative journalism.

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.

Like I said in a reply earlier this man, Sir Trever McDonald is definitely one extra special exceptional man the way he is so polite, up-close and personal with both men and women he truly cares to get to know them and their stories. And he’s respectful, doesn’t appear to be scared approaching inside their cells, he fits right in and they liked Sir McDonald (can tell he’s a very humble, blessed man very much a likable guy. . .) They were very open and welcoming to him. I think these prisoners are very lucky and blessed to be able to have sucha humble respectful man visit them on Deathrow and felt they needed it. They were so welcoming to Sir Trever McDonald and so open talking to him so freely in telling him their stories. 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. Damn, Soooo cold blooded it shook me to my core when I watched him telling Sir McDonald about it, WOW could see it did bother the murderer (I forget his name) he appeared to be a bit remorseful especially for the 4-1/2 y.o. girl while telling his gruesome story. Then Sir McDonald went to visit a woman’s prison. This is a great Documentary one of the best “Prison Documentaries” I’ve seen yet. This man Sir Trever McDonald is AWEsome. . . If by chance you’re on the fence about this Documentary I highly recommend you watch it, it’s Good. You all be safe outthere! God Bless 🙏🛐🙏 - Angel 🌹♥️🥰 MuchLove

Great commentary. An extreme and extraordinary viewpoint of the most prolific convicted. To imagine being convicted at 13, or even being murdered by a child.

And we know that these categories are just the surface of life behind prison walls. Unimaginable 😢

A lot of the women interviewed for this film smiled as they told their story. Could be the presence of cameras. Could be they are not used to being asked about their experience in a humane and caring manner. Could be embarrassment. Could be nerves. Could be that smiles are what gets them through each day. Prison being what it is, most of these women cannot possibly be as cheerful as they come off, so there must be something else going on behind those smiles.

Hats off to sir Trevor McDonald for this unique documentary Prayers for the inmates 🙏

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.
