when a former inmate returns too to jail, it s usually considered a setback. but for april arnold, it s a victory. a former cocaine addict, she was detained at the hillsborough jail in tampa more than 40 times before her 30th birthday. four years ago, she got off drugs and began to return to mentor other people. i want to mentor other people that feel hopeless, lost. i bring a lot of hope to these women, people that i meet. julie vaughn is serving time for offering to commit prstty tuition and has prior convictions fortre trespassing, heavy theft and possession of drug parafhernalia. i am 36, since i was 19,
then makes me feel bad, that i should be there with her. but reyna is currently in the care of schehree s mother, and that s a major source of conflict for sheeree. my mom treats her like she s her kid. she does things i would never do. parents her different than i would. kind of pisses me off. takes over the role of being a mom and not a grandma. that next to that picture of your daughter have you your helter skelter books. coming up. the only jail that i know of that does a heart-healthy menu. and he grabbed both of us by our necks and started shocking us. the horrific crime that forever changed jason flores. he goes over to me, and wrapped his arms around my legs. and he said, mommy, somebody raped me. that s a recipe for failed investing.
there is chicken in here, but the chicken is not it s not real good chicken. jason flores has temporarily transferred to the jail from state prison in order to appeal his 25-year sentence for attempted murder. you re more restricted in skoint jail. in prison, it s another jail. there s a society where there is drugs, prostitution by male inmates. tattoos. no matter anything you want in prison, you can get. it s another world. it s a world very different than the one in which flores was raised. my real dad was a cop, stepdad was a cop. we had a good life growing up. always in sports, baseball, football. popular in school. good grades. but when flores was 11 years old, his world was shattered by a vicious attack. me and my best friend were riding our bikes and there was a guy waiting at the bus stop, and he convinced us to use our bikes to take him somewhere.
back then, she was one of the better known revolving-door inmates. i ve actually counted, i ve been in jail 43 times and in prison twice. cocaine, crack, marijuana, possession, par fenn allah, all of that. her arrest date possession 1997. possession cocaine is most severe charge. you can see really young there. back in that time, didn t know her, but i heard lots of stories. everybody knew when she was coming this is where it gets hard. the face starts to change this is probably where she was sentenced to time. serious time, and there this is where we start to see the hard april. i would fight the officers, probably at least a dozen of you can tell me they handcuffed me to the bed, maced me, fought me. she came to jail being a complete and total disruption all the time.
jason flores seems to get along with his fellow inmates. keeping up on your debt. confinement inmates are in their cells 3 2 3 hours a day. flores says it doesn t bother him. me, i have a lot of experience. i spent 13 months in confinement solid in prison. if you know how to do time, you use your environment and what you have to pass time the best way you can. without spending too much time in your head. flores is at the jail appealing his 25-year sentence for home invasion robbery and attempted murder and even with so much on the line, this stray at hillsborough county might prove less traumatic than a prior stay when he was arrested several years earlier. when he came face to face with an inmate named kevin kinder. the same man who raped him when he was a young boy.
