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 Cindy, your story touched me in a way no story has ever touched me before, i mean i've read some made-up stories in my life but none that un-believable.... Heres a list of things that could make your story more believable #1 Dont make up adult prison charge laws cos baby they just dont exist alright #2 Alright now 22 1/2 years is a tad over the hill alright, 6 months to a year is more along the right lines. #3 You missed the lil details that makes all stories sound original, yours sounded like it came from a low budget movie as you left out your emmotions (actually you sound like your happ

i dont think you should be in adult jail for something that wasnt even harmful and that you didnt even hurt anyone! And that you will be in their for 22 1/2 yearsthats crazy....If you would of shot someone then you should deserve that many years but you didnt...

I think that this is ridiculous and unfair. Cindy meant nothing by her actions, and its true what she said: an unloaded gun is definitely not a deadly weapon. It seems that she was using it as self-defense, to scare these girls off that were bothering her. She should not be in prison at all! ...People wonder why so many people look badly upon America - because we do things like this to innocent people. I hope God can forgive the people that have punished Cindy in this way. Hang in there hun! I'm sorry. =(
