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 it's fundamentally wrong to send a fifteen year old to prison for protecting herself using an unloaded gun. at worst, this girl may have been badly beaten or killed by the three people harassing her. cindy did the right thing by carrying a gun in a bad neighborhood after hours.

First, i would like to common that what ever i say may not sound to you right today in this stage of life but when time will pass your perspective in life will change and you will see the WRONG DOING -i know you made a small mistake that you are paying in BIG, but this small mistake could easyly become a BIG one and that is why the LAW is there.I feel for you that you had to pay such a big price for misguideness from your family.Where are your family?Parents should guide their children for right and wrong!. someone else should be paying the same price with you.Hope you will be a better parent.
