    In some states if you take psychiatric drugs you get the maximum sentence for your crime, no time off for good behavior. Sixty percent of these women have mental issues and staying in prison longer because of their disablity. This is so sad for our families, and society. It also puts care of mentally ill women in the care of the prison system instead of dealing with the social issues that made these women sick. When the women get out of prison, they are put into lower paying jobs and the same problems that put them in jail are back . No win situation for these women. An endless circle of pain, rejection and humilation.

They said that they would never have gotten straightened out if they were out in the world. They HAD to learn and make changes because they had no choice. They had opportunities before they were sent to prison, but refused to tackle their demons.

    It’s sad to see people throwing away their only life. My mother was one of them. Looking back at her life, she was destined for it. Dropped out of school in 9th grade. Drug use Had baby at 20. (Me) Became heroin addict. In and out of relationships. She was looking for someone to help her in this life but with her lifestyle, she didn’t have any choices outside her social circle. Began committing crimes to feed her drug habit and her kids Getting arrested and spending years at a time in prison , leaving her kids with their other shitty family members whom were not much better off than her. Sad. I used to hate her. Looking back the past couple of years now. I now feel sorry for her. Ultimately, my grandparents failed her at the beginning and it was downhill from there.

    Monsters don't have beautiful smiles and innocent eyes. These are still women, they are still human, despite what they've done. I believe that something of good can still be, can still exist, even if it's just a slither of something decent in all of us, no matter who you are, or where you are or what you're going through in life. They are remorseful and desire to make some kind of peace or atonement in their lives, but of course not condoning the crimes they committed. These women are more than their crime. Anyone is.. They are still someone's daughter, sister mother, or friend. Something happens along the way, for us all. Judge not, lest ye be judged. Humans, especially if they are mentally ill, do not belong on stone "beds", locked inside isolated cells with stone walls. That would be considered animal cruelty, even if it were a stray dog being confined in that manner. They still should be treated with respect to being human, and not with indecency. No matter what. Period.

Always try to look for the good in people, unless you have been with that person all the days of their life, you don't know what has happened to them.

According to the Christian religion, she should have given birth to the baby and either kept it or put it up for adoption. She failed God, and by extension, the Christian religion. Society did not fail her. Another question is this: why is it fine for cities like NYC to consider legalizing partial birth abortion (the murdering will be done by the medical professionals) but will severely punish the average Joeleen for the same act? The hypocrisy is so frustrating!
