I spent a total of 7 years in and out of jail and prison in Orlando FL. I have 29 mug shots!!:I left prison in 2002, to return to Ohio where my Mom and Sisters were. 22 years later I have not used cocaine, drink alcohol or smoke a cigarette. I am a recovery and addictions counselor. I also Pastor small church. Would love to share my story with you. Thank you for sharing all the lives you have.

Unbelievable!!! Sex offenders get less time!!

How is it possible ,this lady steals money and gets 20 years and a man ,who abused his niece for 10 years ,after her mom passed on when she was just 4....only gets 4 years in prison and is let out of serving his full sentence.How is her 20 years sentence fair ,compared with a much more henious crime of abusing a child for so long and hardly serving his sentence.

Wow! 20-year sentence for a non-violent crime is insane. This is the effect of having a bad lawyer.

Several years ago, on my hometown, a lady was caught embelizing around 100,000. The judge gave her a 10 year yr term. A several time DUI hit and killed a child. The same judge gave him probabtion .....again!! That caused lots of hoopla ..the childs father wrote a letter to the local paper asking why his child wasnt worth a 100,000??

Marci is a very special lady. This was an excellent interview.

I shot someone in Philadelphia with an illegal gun and did a year. This poor woman got railroaded

20 years is absolutely devastating. I just can’t even imagine that amount of time for her crime. What a wonderful ray of light she is and I hope it just keeps getting better for her family and herself ❤

I love her spirit and how she is so positive. I’m glad her family stuck by her and we can all learn some lessons from her story.

Brother, I'm glad I found your podcast! It has definitely turned my attitude to gratitude. I live in a small town and no one else has been to prison but me. So, there's no one to talk to that would understand. Listening to your story and all the people on your show helps with relating to all of you. I listen to you 8 hours a day at work and my girlfriend of 18 years made a comment about how great my attitude has been and asked what I was doing different and I told her about listening to you. Thank you for your show!!!!

I did 6 years for a quarter OZ of pot and a pack of rolling papers back in 1972. Texas doesn't mess around..

Blessings to this woman for sharing everything, her regrets, the awful consequences of her actions, the effect on her family....what a likable woman and I am grateful she's out and has been able to continue her life. Murderers get less than twenty every damn day. I am so against prison time for non-violent offenses. The problem is that United States prisons are privatized (a crime in and of itself) and every prisoner (ESPECIALLY all those - and there are thousands - who commit non-violent offenses) bring in a pretty penny from the federal government for each and every head that gets locked up. It's a totally sick and broken system. The fact that she kept getting rejected for parole year after year despite it being a non-violent crime and after being a "perfect" inmate all those years until she finally loses it, loses her hope and starts acting up IS WHAT THEY WANTED TO HAPPEN so that they could keep her in the system and collect the money. This process of rejection keeps the money flow going. This is a fact.

Loving hearing from women's experiences in prison!

Thankyou for this interview, you asked all the right questions and I was mesmerized just listening to her and how sweet she is. I'm sure she helped so many people in so many ways. I'm glad she is home and her family is still by her side. 😊

Having worked in a TDCJ setting, Marci’s story hits different. One of the best episodes yet

favorite interview. this lady has such a good aura about her.

I made it to 44 mnutes and then decided that I’d had enough. No letter of apology to the people she stole from, no expression of sorrow for stealing from others. More of an attitude of “how I coped with prison.” No mention of God. No Bible study. A moral reprobate who is not ashamed but now makes a show of being in a lesbian relationship-which probably negatively affected her kids. And Ian is like oh what a nice love story. Hey Ian, it’s not a nice love story. It’s immorality paraded about.

Incredibly strong woman. Ridiculous amount of time for that little money crime. Happy for her out.

Embezzlers are absolutely the worst people with nearly impenetrable denial. She’s a classic case!

You Always, Always, ALWAYS get a lawyer, guilty or innocent, bc the cops ARE NOT your friends!!

People get 7 yrs for murder. What a shame! So glad to see yr doing well. God bless and take care.🙏🏼✝️

She's beautiful and charming! Marci looks 30! Definitely did too much time! Great guest! Love your channel!!

Marcie I was that girl that told the FBI everything without an attorney too. It was such a relief and I felt like a burden had been lifted.

We had an employee steal about $75k by skimming employee tax revenue in miniscule amounts. To the extent some of these employees owed the IRS money. The company paid the back taxes, of course. But this lady did 2 years in prison. She had an opiate addiction and unfortunately passed away a few years after release.

Well done ! My first visit here. 👍🏽

She should NOT have received so much time! what a sweetheart - such a nice person!

She seems like a really down to earth, likeable person. I ain't giving her my SS or debit card number though😂

Marci reallllyyyy rocked prison! Enjoyed every aspect of her new fate😅

She Destroyed her family due to her unreasonable desire to steal $$$ from the company who hired her. Her children are damaged for life because of her greed and callous disregard for the emotional welfare of her husband and children. She sickens me. Now she’s out on SM trying to make a buck. Everything about this woman is about the almighty dollar!😡. My heart breaks for her children 💔

She didn't steal enough. If she had stole $200 million, she would have never seen a jail.

She went from 0-100 , especially for someone who wasn’t getting into trouble as a kid or young adult 😮

Love how everyone you interview are completely different types of people with completely different stories to be told!

I love seeing this kind of content as theres hope for everyone!

Fantastic interview!

Great episode man. Way to push the boundaries. You are the reigning Commisary cookoff king!

Great episode ! Y’all are all amazing, the come up for you all is amazing !

A great podcast. Interestingly put together.

Another amazing interview!!! Your doing big things again!! The legit way!!

Jesse is the Dad for sure! Amazing episode. Congratulations to both you and Marcie!

I guess it just depends on who you know and how much influence that person has with the prosecutors. My half-sister stole at least that much money from a nursing home she worked at as the Nursing Home Administrator. She was married to a Texas Game Warden, and he apparently had some kind of sway with the prosecutor. She was convicted of embezzlement, and her punishment was to repay the money she stole. She received no jail time or fine. They are allowing her to repay the stolen money at about twenty-five dollars a month. Even though she's a convicted felon, she is still able to live around and own guns because of who her husband was. She has also stolen money from my mother for years. She seems to get away with everything.

Well done. That’s a great spirit and I enjoyed watching this interview. Thank you 🙏

awesome to see this! I live in Fort Worth as well! Keep up the Pod Ian, Youre gonna be great!

Her personality is so sweet and positive and her smile is so infectious. Not all people in prison are bad. It is so sad that they treat them that way while in the system.

I absolutely love Marci! Love you, too Ian! I'm loving all these podcasts!! 💜 As a former addict and inmate, I so relate!!!

Sickening. I mean why are people in the comments section justifying what this lady did. Then her laughing about being a criminal, she should have did longer, sounds like she thinks it was a big joke!

I am from the same town Marci was sentenced in...I've been in trouble in that same county...That county is notorious for the huge sentences they hand down....The whole county is crooked as hell and so is the DA that gave her the 20....She definitely shouldn't have been given that kind of time

Twenty years! People can get less for murder.

10 out of 10 interview !! Well done

How does he do it!?!? Every interview so far is 🔥

She is beautiful

Great interview. I wish her well.

Marci, you have blown my mind. I was also an inmate in a federal institution in Phoenix. It was in the 80's but the food was super good back then

She incriminated herself, she didn’t deserve that much time, 🤯 murderers get less time

Thank you for bringing reality to light. You are both amazing. God bless!

Incredible episode! Keep up the great content!

Great as always Ian

Absolutely amazing podcast. Love this womens honesty.

Love Marci, great interview ❤

Her being a woman was in her favor. If it was a male he’d be doing 20 with no possibility of parole. And she only regretting getting caught.

She seems amazing! Keep it up!! These episodes keep getting better and better.

“Adult time-out”, that’s what you needed. I hear your heart racing, knowing you were busted. Good job on coming through that👍, what a journey you are having!

Amazing episode . Ian you are a wonderful interviewer.

Great episode 👏

@Ian. A beautiful interview. Marci, i feel so bad that you had to serve that amount of time away from your children. The system is so flawed. Im so happy you are doing well and it looks like your future is going to be bright. Blessings to you.

She destroyed her whole famil not only that she ends up with a women after coming out of prison when all this time her husband had to take care of 4 kids. She’s smiling like she’s proud.

Great interview!

The conditions DEFINITELY should never change !!! I’m from CA …. I I only wish we had TX laws !!! …. Don’t mess with Texas

@Ian. I found your channel a couple of days ago. I have subscribed. You are a wonderful interviewer. Keep upthr great work. 😊

Hey Ian I always listen on Spotify to the full Pods… But Watched this one here!! So leaving a comment! Great pod she was good vibes was fun to listen to

Very interesting. I appreciate Marcis honesty to inform us of the details.

I live in Austin, TX. My heart goes out to her. Texas is not just Racist, it’s misogynistic. She was punished for her crime, her position in her podunk town, as a nobody and for stealing from a good ole boy. What a fantastic interviewer! I hope she writes a book!

Keep pushing ian you will be at 500k 1mill within 2 years

Thank you

New follower!! I am binge watching your videos. Great content !

She is such a sweetie! Great interview!

Good luck to you Marci, great interview

she seems so happy, it amazes me

Is Marci going to be on commissary cook-off? I think she'd be great 🤓

Your son saying “you touched your butt, and didn’t wash your hands?!?” 😂😂😂❤

If you commit a crime make sure it is federal, they have much better facilities.

This was a great interview

This was very interesting! Subbing, I love this content! Thank you!

She ruined several lives but she's doing well. I'm disgusted.

Ian u rock!!

Wow, 20 years!!! I was once incarcerated addicted to drugs, it’s been 15 since my incarceration I have a powerful testimony and I never thought to bring it to social media this has inspired me, thank you ❤

Thank you.

Great interview Ian! Something I've noticed in a lot of your videos is a audio level mismatch between the intro and the interview.

I know someone that got parole for burglary and assault. There was a victim, he beat them up and stole their wallet . He gets to go to work and home every day.

In Australia, a murderer will probably get 10 years which is ridiculous. 20years for 200k? It’s crazy!

I was in jail with a woman who atole 130,000 dollars from a school she worked at and she was serving 3 months. Wtf Texas?

Thank you so much for sharing. It's crazy how you turn into a "typical inmate" as soon as you get there and good behavior didn't make you any better in their eyes and impossible to keep up for 10 years with your negative emotions and the structure of prison working against you. Glad you made it out.

Removing the “had to” language would demonstrate solid ownership. “I had to lie…” “I chose,” “I chose,” “I chose…”

Good job ❤❤❤❤

Maybe it's nervous giggling and laughter?? I don't see the humor. And I usually have a wicked sense of humor. 🤨🙄. Her poor husband and kids.

I was thinking this story would make a great t.v. series 😊 Looking forward to it!

Her poor children.

I did prison time 8 yrs straight my point I respect what you're doing ❤our story's need to be heard as anyone else thanks 👍

Another banger episode

Interesting episode, Ian. Keep up the good work pumping out these high quality vids and you’ll get recognition in time!!! Rooting for ya.

Great interview. MD Doc for women is Jessup I was there so much difference in every state. I had a 6-year bit but did more coz of parole violations which was my fault. Been out for so many years living a much better life.
