Stories - View Story: Cindy's story |
Hi, my name is Cindy and I’m 15 years old. It’s my first day in jail, adult jail, and boy am I scared! I was at juvenile jail once and this isn’t anything like that place! I still can’t believe how fast all of this happened. One night I’m out dancing at an after hours club and wham, now I’m in prison for up to 22 1/2 years! I suppose you’d like to know how this happened. Well, I was leaving the after hours club when these three girls from the north side were messing with me. My friends had already left so I was alone. I pulled out my pistol which, by the way, wasn’t even loaded, and pointed it at them and told them to leave me alone. I didn’t mean anything by it. I wasn’t going to shoot them. I just wanted them to leave me alone. But I got arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. (How deadly is a gun with no bullets I asked, but that didn’t mater) Anyway, I guess last July a new law makes it so that kids that get charged with certain crimes have to go to adult jail instead of juvenile jail. Well, I’m one of them, on my way to adult prison at age 15. I won’t get out of jail until I’m almost 40 years old!"

Wow, that's horrible, i can't believe a juvenile would get 22 1/2 years. I think that thats way overboard. Everyone does stupid things but i think we should all think twice before we do something that might end us up in prison

Why did you even think of pulling out a pistol. If I were you I would have just told them to leave me alone and if they did not tell them you would call the cops because you fealt like you were getting stalked by three girls you asked them to leave yuo alone but they conituinned to do what you asked them not to do .So you don't always have to rely on guns you can rely on the police all the time tho. If you would have been by a school you would have gotton ten more years like the people by me got for a murder involving a gun 1,000 feet from a school.

Personally, and out of all respect for her, I feel really sorry for her! But to be honest with you, she brought it on herself, the law is the law you can't change that! The questions she should be asking herself is, Why did she have a gun at the age of 15? What purpose was it to bring the gun out in the first place? Because if the gun didn't scare the 3 females, what was she going to do! She Brought it on herself, I feel very sorry for her, and wish her all my blessings and care,I hope now she learns from her mistake!!
Sincerely,
Brittany

...alright, I'm VERY anti-weapons, but a 22-year sentence for threatening with one is just insane. Do you actually realise how long 22 years is?! That's almost twice her entire lifetime. o_O I mean, does the word "Warning" mean nothing to anyone anymore? Cindy actually said she wasn't planning to shoot it and that she was sorry and all that, and she goes to prison and completely ruins her life...
