i was going to be real with you. i rode with this much paper and this much tobacco so i can get my own [ bleep ]. i knew you was cheating bitch! [ bleep ] sandra culbertson arrived here one year ago for aggravated assault. i had stabbed this girl with her own knife. me and my mom was going down the road. she was cussing in front of me, almost runs me and my mom off the road. her and another girl gets out, comes inside my mom s car, fighting. my mom was screaming. and i thought she was being hit. i was fighting both of them off. apparently when she was swinging, she had a knife. she had dropped the knife at some point and i picked it up and stabbed her.
assaulted. where do you plan to live when you get out? i m going to live with my mom and my sister because my mom s my heart. i want to take care of her until i can t kick her anymore or she stops percolating. i was looking over your prison profile and it mentioned two c write-ups in january, two-c and a class b in december. in december, there was disrespect, spitting in food being served to another inmate, threatening an offender, violation of policy. anything you want to say about those write-ups? if stupidity is a crime, i m guilty, i guess. needless to say, i don t handle things real good. that s why i need to think for a change, i guess, you know. thank you for being here. miss culbertson, you re her mother, is that right? anything you d like to say?
to recommend parole at this time would have an verse effect on the institution. i m going to recommend that you do the balance on your sentence. thank you, have a good day. culbertson s parole has been denied. so in other words, you got to serve ten more years? um-hum. basically, where s i m sorry, it s okay. it ain t. i need to talk to the warden about them not stop, stop. please. please. you don t have to do anything. okay. go. parole hearings are not considered opportunities to visit. once the hearing is over, family members are immediately escorted off prison grounds, which leaves culbertson alone to absorb the impact of today s decision. i m speechless.
the next morning, culbertson arrives at the prison administration building for her parole hearing. if parole is granted, she could be released within days. how are you feeling? like a [ expletive ] in church. during our interview with culbertson, her mother and sister arrived to offer character references at the hearing. that s who i hurt. i hurt that the most. that s my life. my mom s my heart. i love her to death. i need a miracle. this will be the initial parole hearing on sandra culbertson, which we are considering for parole today for sentence for contraband in the facility and aggravated
at first when all of this happened, i was like, well, it was just a lung. she s got two. what s the big deal? well, the big deal was i could have killed her, by one stab wound. culbertson has had some problems in prison as well. she s had numerous disciplinary write-ups, including one that got her fired from her job in the prison kitchen. it started when culbertson suspected another inmate of stealing from her. i was fixing her tray, i couldn t get to her and drag her through that little hole so i spit in her tray. wasn t a good idea. so i took it and dump it had out, but i ended up going to seg over that because i disrespected her. don t disrespect no one. but for culbertson, prison hasn t been without its benefits.
