i just happened to go down the wrong road with selling drugs and living on the streets. bonds is serving 85 years for robbing a liquor store and killing the owner. i had two daughters at the time. and my girlfriend at the time she was pregnant with my son. she was 2 months pregnant when i got locked up. that child, bonds son eddie, was 8 when we shot at indiana. even though he had never lived with his father, eddie was missing him, nonetheless. he actually shot a person and didn t mean to. but when i see him again, i can live with him and be with him together until he can go to the park and the museum. his youngest son cries some times because he doesn t have his father around. there are some things he really needs to be in his life for. but bonds has had a tough time following the rules in prison, as well. his last infraction was for
attempting to intimidate an officer. that along with three urine tests that proved positive for marijuana has cost bonds visitation privileges with his family. he had only recently gotten them back but with restrictions. so right now i am on noncontact status. it s like through the phone and the glass. how did you react when your son told you he wasn t going to have contact visits anymore. well, i was upset at first. i even threatened him to not even bring his kids up here. you know? and i was very upset with him. matter of fact i was so upset with him i couldn t think straight. bonds acknowledged his actions in and out of prison don t set the best example for his children. how can i tell you to be good, do good in school, stay out of trouble. every time you come and see me
older brother, they all graduated from college. i just happened to go down a wrong road, was selling drugs and running the streets. at the time, our cameras captured another bonds family visit. but due to a variety of disciplinary problems, it was a noncontact visit with his parents and three children. and jerry bonds, sr., was none too happy about it. i was upset at first. and i even threatened him to not even bring his kids up here. the last time we were on camera, we couldn t talk to him other than through a piece of glass. we couldn t touch him. so being able to come to a ceremony like this, it makes it all worthwhile. we all make mistakes. i mean, i have. i have a job. i work with a counselor. i m her clerk. i ve been doing that for the past maybe six months.
coming up next on lockup: extended stay, jerry bonds learns his fate. it is what it is. and billy groves has to face his consequences. i try not to have regrets in life, but i kind of regret this move. can a business have a mind? a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes faster than the speed of thought. can a business have a spirit? can a business have a soul? can a business be.alive?
seeing his incarcerated mother before she dies. i haven t seen her since we were sentenced in december of 1983. but once i make parole in may, i would hope that either if not that day, then the following day, i would get to see her. my mom will be 83 thursday of next week. all these are in prison? yes. indiana woman s prison. other offenders see their families frequently. in addition to regular visitation, the prison hosts an annual family day event. this is something the church put together, family day, so people can spend some time with their family and reunite. people trying to build bridges back that they lost before. this is my father, jerry, this is my mother, martha. we first met jerry bonds during our shooting of the original lockup at indiana
