First Time Behind Bars: How to Prepare for Prison | Free Documentary

Shot over three years, the film captures their growing psychological trauma as their children and families face poverty and social shame, and the individuals charged face their fears about violence in prison and whether or not they can survive the loss of freedom.

Fraud is the worse. Fraud is the crime that gets a slap on the wrist when it should be harsher.

There are some innocent people in prison as well as guilty criminals, so be very mindful how you judge, one of your loved one may be there innocent some day & your story will flip 😢

Rehab not incarnation

What made Courtney think that she could get away with stealing damn near a million from her employers? Did she think that it was chump change that they would never miss?🤷🏾‍♀️

It is getting more dangerous in American prisons because of the evil is getting worse on earth. Staying out of trouble is remedy.

I bet if it was more military style there would be less recidvism. Less violence also.

So America is so bad that a black man gets 2 years probation for murder but in Canada what amounts to property crimes ends up in years in prison???

The second lady talks about “drowning” financially, I want to know what she needed almost a million for, the house?

Should bring the kids to the court, let them see that this is a family man & who you may be taking him away from. Def if its a jury trial.

I happy for the young man, wish him all the best.

Are womens prisons as dangerous as the consultant is suggesting?

40 years for stealing a MFing purse. This is racism at its finest! This is not a great country unless you’re white! IDGAF and I’m a white man!

The really sad part of all of this is that dog, you can clearly see he’s absolutely stressed.

Someone better wipe their lips before they get booked..

Lol that gotta be the whitest thing ever to hire a prison consultant 🤣

she is cursing now , but was in glory land when taking those funds!!!

when did the company that she w for realize that amount was missing they must not never did audit before !!!!

That husband had a lot of nerve to tell his wife to stop crying when he’s the suspect in trouble.

I think that mama has stressed the lil boy out about this situation. Hes too polished and well versed about it.

If you are looking for a great mentor support reference, theres this lady named Wahida Clark. She was incarcerated with nothing. She started writing and became an award winning author.
Im sure she wouldn't mind helping the ladies who might be facing time.

She said she bought a home to raise kids in ‘ but she didn’t say she stole almost a million dollars ‘ clearly that’s how you got the house and she didn’t have any kids to raise’ she was raising a dog 😂

Make a shank and gonfor yours!

The kids being hopeful through all this is joyful and sad all at once

First openly gay president 😂😂😂 parents stop telling your children they can. Be whatever they want to be. Its not true or accurate. 😂😂😂

You steal almost a million dollars from your work and you’re the victim? This is exactly what’s wrong in society. Woman’s rights equals they are never wrong smh

Haaaaaa sorry - you would never going to be president 🤡🤡🤡🙈

Yall already know how this is going to go for him in prison

She only got 4 years for stealing almost a million dollars??!!! Bruh the injustice is real

Your video of "How to prepare for prison," is very interesting, However, I hope I never need this information.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Future first gay presidents lawyer seems like an idiot. He can’t shut up and seems to try to make things worse.

Very fair to say that Our Dreams Can Be Rather Excessive at times LOL 😂

We already have had the first openly gay black president 😂 it was Obama

40 years and losing your ability to walk for a theft? Terrible injustice

You did the crime right, then shut up and do the time.

Forty years for snatching a purse, but only five years for stealing nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars... Now you tell me the system is not screwed.

Courtney’s case reminds me of Charlie Sheen’s character in Wall Street, Bud Fox. He was trapped by this crook, Gordon Gekko, played by Michael Douglas ❤️❤️ (THE BEST). Once greed gets a hold of you, it seems to be very difficult to get out of it. It’s like a drug. The bigger you are, the harder you fall.

Some people are locked up in county jail before they’re transferred to prison. I guess, though, that happens to the really dangerous people.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time! Freedom is a privilege not a right.

ITS ALWAYS THE CHILDREN WHO PAY THE MOST,SHAME ON THE IDIOTS WHO LOSE THEIR FAMILIES TO SELFISH ACTS,DISCUSTING BEHAVIOR AND THE RESULT IS NEVER FIXED,WAKE UP DICKHEADS

What did this guy do? His wife is beside herself so it must be very bad

MESSY MESSY MESSY IS ALL

We just sent trillions of dollars this year alone in aid outside the country all paid by tax dollars of us already struggling working class people.

Under The Obama more black people were getting Arrested and put in prison. Trump is the only one that let them out of prison and put them in paid Job programs in America. Then the Democrats Ruined his Economy with the Call covet 19 virus. And the George Floyd step on riot.

Look at this he Strangle a woman and he gets 2 years Probation. He that woman gets 4 years for stealing money. Something is definitely wrong here.

The man with a family what was he. Accused of ?

Claw back to the tune of almost 1 million dollars?

What is up with the weaves in Detroit?
