I did three years at DCI. I went through the youthful offender program and graduated. I stayed focused in The Word and also worked out a lot on those very same workout benches. I had a 7 year sentence for first degree robbery. I got our May 19th 2013. I now have a beautiful wife and four boys. And also own my own business. I went back to DCI twice over the years to speak at various programs they have. It hasn’t been easy out here but I thank God for seeing me through. I was at DCI from 2009-2012.

samantha I agree....... partly on the basis of something(s) I maybe shouldn't say here; I guess it's at the discretion of the channel host and other viewers. First, use of anything is a conscious decision.......except the opioid medicines, used legitimately as medicine, AND WITH full understanding of what the doctor means when he/she advises as to the addictive nature of a given deemed-addictive drug. Unfortunately, the stigma attached to opioid analgesics prevents informed and lucid discussion between patient and prescribing professional. There are very many people in long-term opioid-based pain management ensnared by a serious but underappreciated mess; beginning with opioid tolerance, over time the analgesic properties of the opioids seem to flip polarity, eventually generating the very pain they once managed so well. I'm unfortunately qualified in the issue; for 13 years my mantra was: "The worse the pain, the more I need the more I take, the worse the pain......" It's just electrochemical facts, not a morals issue. Unless and until people knock off the character attacks attached to addiction, we'll see ridiculous treatment of the entire issue of substance use. Consider long-term use of antacids and nasal sprays........ sudden cessation of use will result in a condition that can be remedied ONLY by restoring use of the subject substance. Now consider the opioid analgesics (legit medical use) AND heroin (street) use....... same EXACT outcome........use a prescribed industry-standard medicine for say 45 days and then stop use........ let us know how that goes as the nervous system goes literally into shock in the absence of the once-adequately-effective opioid and activity among the receptors. With the opioids' "beneficial" effects comes diminished activity or heightened activity of certain hormones such as norepinephrine, dopamine, etc. MANY MANY people among us were snagged in dental care, fractured bones, burns, surgeries, etc. upon first use. Others, curiously, get through the initial opioid medicine experience with no continued "interest". The one most common account I've heard from my brethren in recovery from substance addiction: the effect of their first-ever use was tantamount to discovering the secret key to control how they feel, on demand. Amazing how many forms that secret little key comes in....... liquid, powder, pill, and/or for smoking or chewing. That first beer is so often the one the recovering addict wishes they could have known where it'd lead........ how differently life woulda gone....... yet, WHO would decline euphoria of all things? It's not the substances that are illegal, but the enhanced sense of well-being they bring that the authorities are after. As Gomer Pyle, USMC would say, "fer shame, fer shame, fer SHAME!!!!!!" In the mindset of the enforcers, nobody has a right to control their sense of well-being........ cut off access to the means by which to achieve that effect, and pursue further shall the seeker. Those "mandatory minimal sentences" are certainly part of a system that's a conduit for untold and countless $$$$$, from bail bondsman to corporations running prisons, every piece and part of it all is driven not by human(e) justice but never-enough money. sorry for ramble!!! you started this :)

I know people don’t often think so but jail did exactly what it was designed to do for me. Long story short, I was a heroin, fentanyl and crack addict and an escort for about 10 years. I got arrested for the last time on a warrant on April 26, 2019. When I got to intake that night, the nurse told me I was pregnant. I’ve been sober ever since and have a beautiful 2 year old son! Edit: thanks for the support and kind words. I'll have 4 years sober July 2023 and my son turned 3 in December 2022! Still going strong 💪🏻

I made some horrible decisions in my youth that took me from a promising career in communication intelligence for the United States Army, to a 22 year sentence in the Tennessee prison system... There's no doubt I deserved to be there but I never hurt anyone or committed any violent offences or any kind of messed up charges.. so for my first offense ever I think 22 years was a little extreme.. but that's Tennessee for you. Lock em up and throw away the key! Anyhow, you're sent to prison AS your punishment.. not FOR your punishment. One of the prisons I spent the most time at (6½ years) was called Southeastern Tennessee State Regional Correctional Facility. Whew, ikr.. try putting that on every envelope you send out lol . But, I never really saw any kind of corrections.. what were they supposed to correct? Me? No, none of that.. they mostly just treat you like crap and make you feel less than human. Then if by the grace of God you actually make parole, you have to have a job and a place to live before you can be released. Good luck with that after spending over a decade in there and losing most of your family in the process.. it took me 3 times meeting the parole board until I was accepted for release. Most people in there aren't just animals or horrible people.. there are some really good people that just made a bad choice or two. Everyone needs help at some point in their life.. I wish I had the means to start some kind of after care for people being released. Something that could help with jobs or housing. I have so many ideas in my head it's crazy! It looks like it'll all have to stay in my head tho.. or maybe someone that does have the resources and that can talk to other people that can help, will read this and do something! Idk, but if that happens I'd sure like to know about it. Ok, sorry for rambling on, I'm sure most of you stopped reading this a couple paragraphs ago lol. Have a blessed day and I'll be praying for the ones still in there. 🙏🏼

The entire Criminal Justice system is criminal. In fact, justice doesn't belong in the title, just plain Criminal System. I've worked with enough defense attorneys whom have all said, "It's a racket and you're just a number with dollar signs attached". Murderers, rapists and pedophiles receive less time, only to get out and continue their life of crime, some of them leading to murder in order to not get "caught" again. I personally feel that drug offenders, particularly first time offenders, do not belong in jail or prison whatsoever. Jail nor prison rehabilitates. They simply make better criminals while further damaging an individual in all facets of life.

But honestly, how else are they going to get money to even eat, or help their Mama's and families with money? Our New Orleans youth is forced to choose that lifestyle and stay in it.

It got to the point where I would drop my tool and say "sarge, call the truck because I'm not gon make it." Looking back on it though, DCI helped make a man out of me when I had no sense of direction. Even though it was only three years, it felt more like five in those cell blocks.

What i got from all of this, is that not all inmates that are in prison, belong in prison!! You'll get to meet some of the real-est people in there, who just happened to screw up at some point in their lives and got into whatever it was that they were doing, got caught, and now they must either: a) answer Uncle Sam, or b) reap what they have sowed back when!! Although, there are some who actually truly deserve to be in there, and never released into society due to their charges and the severity of it. I think that "Sex Offenders of all types and degree, especially "child molesters" and/or rapists of any other kind, shouldn't be released back into Society!! When it comes to these sorts of criminals, they are among the most hated and despised, even by other inmates...to the point of willing to harm one or some of them whenever the opportunity presents itself!!

Vlad, (and sorry for the long-winded response) a cherished friend in high school---phenomenally talented guitarist---saw a guy walking down the street with a rifle in this Baltimore suburb....... simply asked him what kind of rifle it was. The answer was a few rounds that killed my friend in less than 5 minutes. He'd been playing his guitar on the second floor of his brother's single-family home. A couple of those rounds had gone through part of the window sill before spinning from abdominal entry to exiting his upper back....... it was described as "carnage". The murderer received a citation for reckless use of a firearm. Period. The police were quoted in the news article, describing the perp's van as "an arsenal", replete with ammo and weapon racks. And all he got was a ticket that was tantamount to being sent to his room for a timeout. Interestingly, and certainly in the same year as the murder, I had an encounter with a cop from the very district where the murder took place. With about 20" long hair, buckskin coat, ripped jeans, and bare feet, in line at a pizza joint, I asked the cop in line what make and model his sidearm was. He took it from holster, handing it to me to check out. Always seems to be some insanity attached to weapons. I'm beginning to think that the nearly 100% efficiency of guns is the actual point of violent response to any threat to gun laws in America. Don't dare mess with those near-perfect appliances of persuasion. About molesters and abusers and the apparent leniency in the penal system......... what's been missing is CHARACTER ASSESSMENT. A perpetrator may win leniency by accounts of an abused childhood. What the judges and juries need to be asking is "really? So you decided to share your misfortune with another." Yep, it was so bad ya just had to share. We're not paying much attention to the fact that CHARACTER is behind every bit of it. Want to make a career in a federal, state, county, city, military, or community law enforcement agency? Pass the character assessment. In the lengthy and thorough testing that led to my nearly mandated application for disability (SSDI), I learned that a significant portion of it determines the truthfulness of the applicant. The tests are designed to reveal inconsistencies, which are of course indicators of opportunism. When the report was written I was required to visit a psychiatrist who'd coordinate and certify the application prior to actual determination by Social Security. The FIRST thing he said to me: "I have never seen such consistency and honesty". I do take some pride in that, if nothing else. The point is that character assessment is a real thing, but underappreciated in terms of judgment of the accused. What might it reveal about so many molesters and abusers who've won leniency by their accounts of hideous childhood making them incapable of understanding the consequences to others.......???? This applies to those repeat offenders that shouldn't have been released....... it is a fact that there are horrifically wrong charges inflicted on plenty enough people accused by some disgruntled fabricator....... on a Monday morning a woman I'd known since high school described her weekend liaison with her estranged husband....... how great it was, sex without strings attached........ on Wednesday morning: "Remember what I told you the other day about me and my ex? Well, it wasn't consensual........ it was rape. I just got back from the hospital; they've got evidence now.......". My hair shot straight up in terror........ she was the disgruntled fabricator unhappy with the final divorce terms of months prior, and now I've been fed "knowledge"........ and oh no, my DNA is certainly strewn about her kitchen and living room. I'd re-tiled her bathroom about a week prior, sat on her couch, etc. This is where character assessment needs to be implemented........ SO MANY people who wouldn't and couldn't commit alleged crimes, and are equally incapable of lying and are therefore completely truthful about their innocence, yet have been killed in prison when marked as CHOMO, etc.

64years for some crack is insane. In my country he would have get a few years depending how much it's like 6months a kilo. People bringing in tons per container get 6 to 12years max!! ....And people don't get extra time for an escape if they do it smart,... kidnapping and hurting people, that's something else and you will definitely get some extra time wich is fair.

Sometimes you’re the windshield. Sometimes you’re the bug on the windshield. But I gotta say my truth! Some of these drug dealers have gotten RIDICULOUS amounts of time! Hell, even murderers get less time! I know what some are gonna say, “Them selling drugs killed like mass murderers!” Really? I’m a addict clean 26 years! And my choice to use WAS MY CHOICE TO USE! Best they think about that really hard! We are just humans! Everyone deserves redemption! ❤❤❤

When I found out my son had been transferred from jail to prison I literally broke down. Then the Deputy told me it was just due to a shortage of beds in the jail, and the specific prison was a very well run prison that worked on the principles of respect, and would only accept model prisoners! As a bonus, he'd be able to take extra good time classes and he'll get released earlier than expected!That's my son! When your son is a heroin addict but never gives the other inmates or C.O.'s trouble, as his mother, yes, I'm proud of him because that's a step in the right direction. The first thing he told me was that if the inmate shows respect, they are treated with respect. "It's not hard to do, and the C.O.'s and teachers are easy to communicate with. They encourage us." He's at Avoyelles Prison, and I thank God for that. ❤

Other prisons should watch this video and adopt a program like this to have the prisoners that are on good behavior and stay put of trouble should be able to work in the grounds of the prison the capital or highway work they need to work out outside to get back into the work place after they serve the time they need to be supervised but they need to be trusted
