owçwç?yçxcxcaoayyyyç jessica mcmahon has been an inmate at the prison for almost a year. but today she s going home. don t make me cry. good-bye. you ll be okay. drugs are the reason she ended up here. they re also responsible for the death of her mother while jessica was behind bars. now it opened myize and i m done. because i actually thought about going out there and getting high again and making my fast money. when i lost my mom, it wasn t worth it to me.
it was over. i m just taking my stuffed animals and letters. everything else i m going to leave here with all my friends. i don t know what to say. i m just happy for her. she s going home. she deserves it. this whole quad stuck by me when i lost my mom. it was like a family in here. although jessica s sentence was relatively short, she believes the experience has been life-changing. when i got her, i grew up here in prison. it s took me eight months to get my g.e.d. normally it takes somebody a month. but i got it. it s good knowing it s the last time i m going to be locked up. like jessica, some of the women at this north carolina prison feel a sense of shame and regret for the crimes they committed and the time they ve had to serve. i don t know. it s like every day, every night you go back, if only i could go
to accept the fact that i was here in prison. they don t know how to deal with it so they kind of withdraw and go there until they can sort it out for themselves. it helps me just knowing that, you know, i ve got sisters i can lean on, someone i can talk to, someone i can share these things with. because in here, you ve got to be careful who you share things with. you re right. just about everybody. and they ll have a chance to go out. fy can get them to look and see their life can be different, they can get themselves turned around. there s people out here that are hurting so bad. they didn t need to do what they did. it doesn t excuse their guilt, but they ve lived some lives that will just rip your heart out. for jessica mcmahon, the chance ate new life is just hours away. you have anyone that can pick you up?
