pamala speckin, a married mother of three children, has just gotten back from court where a judge handed down his sentence on her most recent drunk driving conviction. i was going in there thinking i might get at most 15 months. it s my fifth drunk driving. the judge pretty much lectured me, you know, and he was right. i could kill somebody or kill myself, and that s what i really got to think about. you know, i m a threat to the community. if i m on the roads. and he gave me three to five years in prison. the sentence is final. and speckin must now wait for her transfer to the state s only female prison, about 2.5 hours from grand rapids. it blew my mind away. i hyperventilated. i had to sit down. i couldn t breathe. i felt like the whole world was just ending.
i missed yesterday. while arguments and fights do break out among female inmates, pamala would agree with captain demery s description. when it comes to her own housing unit. it s like one big family in there. we all talk to each other, eat together. we help each other out, the ones in need. we support each other. somebody s upset, we re all right there. thank you. trace these on paper. and then i tear them out so that they have that ridged look. and then i color the outside in whatever colors i want. and then i put them on the back of an envelope and use deodorant, and you color it off and it makes it smell pretty, and it s going to look pretty when it s done. speckin has taken on the role of teacher today showing other inmates how to make decorative jailhouse stationery. don t do that on your envelope. look at what you re doing to your envelope. the role of nurturer is one she says she s familiar with. i love having a home.
he wants. he s the judge. watch your head. this is one of the worst parts. getting in a cage in a van. it s not normal. and it smells in there. bye, guys. coming up it blew my mind away. i hyperventilated. i had to sit down. i couldn t breathe. pamala speckin s judge delivers her sentence. then my beard represents how long i ve been here. after multiple escape attempts dustin paul tries something new.
dying while i m in here now. i mean, because then that wouldn t be a good thing at all. so it makes me worry a lot about grandma s health. i m in here, there s nothing i can do to help her, unfortunately. coming up all s i ask is that you wear a condom. don t do it in our home and don t catch anything. pamala speckin takes an unconventional step to hold her family together. and because people are saying you ve put seminal fluids into foods you were sharing with other inmates jeremy merithew faces an angry judge on the day of his sentencing. so why accept it from your allergy pills? most pills don t finish the job because they don t relieve nasal congestion. flonase allergy relief is different. flonase relieves sneezing, itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose, plus nasal congestion, which pills don t. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances.
speckin will soon leave the jail on a state prison transport bus to begin her sentence. but dustin paul will still be here for a while. how do i describe myself? i m a mother [ bleep ]. that s how i would describe myself. over the past five months paul has been trying to leave the jail through his own ill-fated escape attempts. i know there s no way i ll get out of here. that s not going to happen. i was really just upset i was in jail. you know? that was just my way of saying [ bleep ] you pretty much. escape can carry up to a ten-year prison sentence. but since the farthest paul ever got was the day room of his housing unit jail officials have not filed criminal charges. instead they ve kept him locked up in segregation. my beard represents how long i ve been here. how long my hair is, that s how long i ve been down here. but lately paul has ceased his escape attempts and given himself a new look.
