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!"

I think what you did what 50% wrong and 50% right. You were only protecting yourself, but what if that gun was loaded? You could've seriously hurt someone, or even killed them. Every person, every being on this planet, has a soul. Even you. And every soul has feelings and a purpose. So if you had killed someone that night, then that person's soul would've passed onto the other world without fulfilling their purpose. But either ways, may God bless you.

Wow, I feel so bad for you. You won't leave until you're 40? All I can say is that you really
are missing out. I also think that what those people did to you is just wrong. They have no
right to make fun of you. Although I wouldn't of done the same thing, what you did
makes some sense. I don't think you should be in there that long!
