THE FACT : Perryville is not going to be easy : Gauging by the fanciful aspirations she had during her 2013 allocution statement, and the ease with which she feels she can slip into the change that moving 'house' will bring her, it appears the young Californian woman whose sentencing verdict the world is eagerly awaiting to know, is blissfully unaware of the rigors of Prison life, which can only mean one thing. Jodi Ann Arias is going to have to buckle up for just how difficult life is going to exponentially get, compared with the relatively cushy life she has had for over six years at the Maricopa County Estrella Jail in Phoenix. She was 28 years old when she first experienced Estrella, and now at 34, she is about to step into Perryville. However she appears to be mentally self-protected from facing the harsh realities of what is in store for her, by an artificial belief in prison life being nothing more than just a move to a brand new location.
"I have nothing but time on my hands to think. And that's when I really begin to try and remember and relive that day. And then, it just gets so horrible that I shut it out and I don't want to think about it" Arias told "48 Hours" in 2008, referring back to that tragic day in June 2008. She appears to be doing the same when it comes to facing the reality of the future as well.
RECALLING JODI ARIAS' PRE-SENTENCING INTERVIEW WITH AMY MURPHY IN MAY 2013 :
Amy: Put the needle in your arm - You have thought about that?
Jodi Arias : Oh, I haven't thought about that. No.
Amy: So you really mentally haven’t even gone there?
Jodi Arias : No. I havent.
That’s more like I will cross that bridge if when I come to it.
It's understandable that focussing on thoughts pertaining to being administered a lethal injection which would take her life away for good, would be too painful for Jodi Arias, but being this close to sentencing, it is not the best place of ignorance to be in, when there is a realitty just hours away from now, which deals with what life until that moment, will be like for her.
JODI ARIAS : STILL UNAWARE : Estrella, which remains the only experience of incarceration that is currently serving her as a limited point of reference [whenever the unsuspecting Arias declares that she disagrees with those who have experienced Perryville, who have warned that there are darker, more dismal days to follow], is a Jail, whereas Perryville where Arias will be moved to, is a Prison [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDW9cu3av_o.
One can't help but feel a tad sorry for Arias, as the only accurate statement she made during allocution in 2013 was, ''I've never been to prison. I don't know from personal experience what it's like there'', especially considering how the rest of the sentence ''.. but I'm certain that after I arrive I'll likely find many other ways in which I can contribute to the women there'' is as mis-informed and wishful a thought as her 2008 remark was, when she said ''no jury will convict me''.
Meanwhile, Arias supporters too, are being grossly misled by the Jason Weber-initiated website justice4jodiarias.com, on which the grossly mis-leading positively flowery details listed under ''Life Sentence'' couldn't be further from the truth [See :https://www.justice4jodiarias.com/life-sentence-vs-death-sentence/]
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ''JAIL'' (ESTRELLA) AND ''PRISON'' (PERRYVILLE) : As they are the end-station for those members of society who choose to recklessly cause harm, damage and hurt to the safety or even very lives of others, incarceration of any kind is especially designed by choice, to be an unpleasant experience.
But, the policies, rights, and daily life of an inmate are very different between these two types of institutions.
Jails are most often run by sheriffs (like tough Sheriff Joe Arpaio) and are designed to hold individuals awaiting trial or a serving short sentences. Jails like Estrella, are built to accommodate a range of different types of individuals, from offenders unable to post bail, to people arrested for as less a crime as public drunkenness who are kept until they are sober, or, more relevantly, individuals (like Jodi Arias) who have been arrested on a murder charge, and are awaiting being processed into the sentencing system.
Prisons however, are a far more serious business operated by state governments and the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Prisons on the other hand, are designed to hold individuals convicted of crimes. A prison as a large state-run facility,, is much larger than a jail, and usually houses individuals convicted of a serious crime or felony, and whose sentences for those crimes surpass 365 days.
Conditions in Perryville which is one such Prison [known for being so harsh and unforgiving that inmate Marcia Powell who was just 48 years old at the time, died on May 19, 2009, after spending four hours in a holding cell at the Arizona State Prison Complex-Perryville in Goodyear, Arizona] are going to be much tougher and will be as she rightly said, a new experience for Arias. Perryville Prison will soon be Jodi Arias' permanent abode, and it would be wise to prepare herself emotionally, mentally and physically, so that she can toughen up for the rigors of what is to come. When inmates escape the clutches of Arpaio's jails after sentencing, it is only to move to a far worse place prison like the Perryville Correctional Facility where Debra Milke spent 23 years on death row for the murder of her son.
AFTER THE SENTENCING VERDICT : WHAT WILL INCARCERATED PRISON LIFE HOLD FOR JODI ARIAS?
Let's briefly run through what awaits Arias in Perryville. The female unit Arias will be in, was build in 1981 - a decade before Estrella was. 35 years later, the unit remains unrenovated from its original structure. Indeed in Goodyear, Arizona in this hot dusty town sits the Perryville Prison.
What showers will be like in Perryville : At the Estrella Jail, Jodi's unit contained a general-purpose bathroom and shower area.
She would always be taken to an area in which she could take her shower or a room in which she could greet scheduled visitors via the video-call system. Her shower stall in Estrella though unattattractive, did the job for her and was good enough.When Jodi Arias is transported to Perryville however, she is going to have to get adapted to the unpleasant reality that she will not be having regular baths. Inmates are only allowed to shower three times a week. And in the event that she does have the opportunity to bathe which is certainly not everyday, her legs will be shackled even in her shower, and she will have to wash herself with leaking showers staring back at her - metal showers that have been leaking gallons of waters for years now.
As she takes that weekly welcome bath, her eyes will fall on nothing but erosion - of both concrete and metal support beams all around her.
Her shower will be taken in the midst of heavily rusted iron railings and support beams and there will not be hot water always.
What meals will be like in Perryville : When she receives her food plate which will be shoved into the cell, Jodi will see that the trays, sporks and cup are far from clean and definitely not like those she ate and drank from in Estrella. She once complained about the diet at Estrella which was unpallatable there. However when Nancy Grace actually took a taste of Jodi Arias' jail food tray during the HLN news anchor's tour of the Estrella Jail in 2013, Nancy remarked that it wasn't that bad. Well the utensils in Perryville are more disturbing than the tastelessness in the food that accompany it.
When prison inmates receive their food in Perryville, they are forced to live with negotiating the dirt that is actually embedded in the trays and sporks where the plastic coating has been worn away.
What clothing and hygiene will be like in Perryville : Whenever Arias gave out prison interviews, she insisted that her stripes not be shown.
Needless to say, Jodi will not be proud of her clothes at Peryville for a completely different reason.
Inmates are hardly provided with fresh clothes or panties, and their many requests for a change of attire after months of wearing the same uniform (minus a daily bath) usually goes unheeded.
What the weather will be like in Perryville : Arias was shielded from the rigors of heat and cold while she was in Estrella. Perryville is going to be starkly different.
In Perryville Prison, the heat runs full blast and the rooms get to be unbearably hot. The officers do not have the authority to turn the heat off, even if it is an unseasonably warm day.
On a "warm" winter day, the room temperatures can reach the 90+ degree mark. In Estrella, Jodi's cell had a window, which though covered with a metal grate, was cooling. The window cranks in most of the rooms at Perryville on the other hand, are broken and do not open so there is no way to get any relief.
Many inmates suffer through what they say is ''absolutely cruel and unusual punishment'', but their complaints fall on stone-deaf ears.
What sleeping will be like in Perryville : In Estrella, she was able to rest on the mattress on the bottom of two beds that jutted from a cinderblock wall. In Perryville, Jodi's bed will be built into the wall of her cell and it will be a hard surface bed.
As she lays her down to sleep and think of the events that got her into this miserable place called Perryville Prison with little else to do since she will be all alone for complete days on end, she will no doubt day dream about the relatively more comfortable mattress she had in Estrella.
The mattresses in Perryville are very different. The mattresses in every cell at Peryville are very, very thin and do not provide any kind of support or protection from the metal bunks.
To make things worse, almost every cell in Perryville is worn out from neglect, and leaks of black material of some kind always seep unceasingly into the inmate's abode as a result of celing coverings failing to contain them as a result of the many cracks that have remained unattended to, for decades.
What her cell will be like in Perryville : Many of the cells have cracks in the walls that leak rain water. Perhaps Jodi will be lucky and in her cell, water may seep in only one corner, and she may not experience the flooding situation that most inmates experience.
However, in that corner of her cell, Jodi will certainly notice that there is mold growing. The mold in the cells at Peryville are so bad that it has grown down the outside walls as well as the inside. In Estrella she was allowed to have pencils and paper if she wanted to draw, and the graphite and color pencils produced many a drawing as we all know. However the days of drawing will soon come to an end, as she will hardly be able to request for pencils, from the guards who will refuse her, even scorn her if she makes any such request on arrival.
Debra Milke who suffered with the restriction of 3 showers per week, spoke of how she was forced to decide whether she should sleep on the concrete floor where it was cooler, or lay on her sweat filled bunk.
What her time away from the cell will be like in Perryville : Jodi Arias will be taken out for solitary hour in the sun. However what she does not know is that the Arizona sun in the recreation area of Perryville is punishing, and the heat exposure will bring on many of the migraines she has had in far more comfortable conditions whilst at Estrella.
What's more, in the event that Arias chooses to join a line to make a request, she will find that the line which is always long, is not in a shaded area, the wait in line is usually a couple of hours at best. Many young female inmates have collapsed whilst in the line while others have just chosen never to join it but to simply suffer through their ailments.
How her health will suffer in Perryville : Temperatures inside Arias' little cell can reach the 90+ degree mark, with no way to get any relief.
Many inmates at Perryville Prison routinely testify to how the extreme heat had caused many a painful muscle cramp. Some female inmates get very light headed and dizzy.
Even the hardiest of them ultimately vomit. No medical attention is afforded during such instances.
The inmates often live in exceedingly hot, or exceedingly cold rooms with windows that do not open.
ATLEAST IN SOME SMALL MEASURE, JUSTICE FOR TRAVIS ALEXANDER, HAS BEEN ACHIEVED
Having considered all of the above, the one thing that is clear, is that Jodi Arias has already received a decree of experiencing very soon, what it is like, to be in a living hell for the rest of her life.
With either sentence, Arias will spend the rest of her life in 86 square feet, surrounded by inmates who are sometimes so deadly that they would kill if provoked [https://www.facebook.com/BestNewsSiteCoveringtheAriasTrial/photos/a.372216699550192.1073741830.372063369565525/660272314077961/?type=1&comment_id=660305614074631&ref=notif¬if_t=photo_comment]
Unlike in Estrella where jail inmates would smile, chat and sing with her, inmates in Perryville are the hardcore kind who think nothing of messing with those they do not take a liking to and yes, there are female gangs at Perryville [Click :
https://www.facebook.com/BestNewsSiteCoveringtheAriasTrial/photos/a.372216699550192.1073741830.372063369565525/660274467411079/?type=1¬if_t=like]
Jodi Arias by all reports, is already disliked by inmates who have heard of her in Perryville. To make things worse, prison officials have already been warned to be extremely strern with her.
This prison stay will be no cake walk and contrary to media reports, there is no tweeting, no computers, no internet, no cell phone, no human contact Jodi got all of her information wrong, when she said ''I have received many requests from women to teach them Spanish or American sign language. Because my case was pending I just didn't have the time. In prison I will. If I'm sentenced to life I will live among the general population of women and I'll be able to share my knowledge of those subjects with them, the ones who have a desire to learn also. I may even be able to start classes''. There will be no provision for book clubs or reading groups, as Arias will hardly make it out of her cell for more than just enough time to spend some solitary exercise time in the recreation pen - that too under the watchful eyes of burly security men, as her heavily shackled feet move beyond her little cell to an area outside where there is no inmate contact allowed.
EVEN BETTY SMITHEY FOUND PERRYVILLE HARD
If anyone knows what Jodi Arias is going to get it's convicted killer Betty Smithey who spent decades in Perryville before being released as a result of the victim's family granding her pardon. Specifically referring to Jodi Arias and what she was in for, Betty warned "It is hell on earth. Every day is just like a living death, especially when you have no hope of ever getting out. The hardest part about prison is not having anybody to talk to" [See :
http://www.azfamily.com/news/woman-who-spent-49-years-in-prison-tells-3TV-what-Jodi-Arias-can-expect-206855211.html]
At Perryville Correctional facility, Debra Milke stayed in a cell 23 hours a day for 23 years.
The average amount of time an inmate spends on death row in Arizona is 12 years, but it's possible it could be much longer or much shorter.
Death row inmates can't talk to other inmates. They get three showers a week and they eat alone in their cells.
However those who know better, are of the opinion that it would be even worse if she were forced to spend the rest of her life in Perryville.
Life as she has known it so far, is about to change, and the reality of it, is that Jodi Arias must prepare for long, difficult days and lonely nights now that the court drama has ended.
Perryville and its hard core rules await. All this in part, because a jury in 2013, ensured that she was convicted of first degree murder, and eligible for the death penalty.
And Prosecutor Juan Martinez, did a splendid job, assuring that Arias was rightly delivered a conviction of ''Guilt''. We remembered the chilling true story of how Perryville had treated inmate Marcia Powell who unlike Jodi Arias, wasn't even a murderer. Powell had only been convicted of prostitution. Not a killer, she was a convicted prostitute, doing time behind bars, at Perryville and walking the same doors that Arias will soon be walking. What happened to her, is ongoing evidence of how prison inmate rights to be treated humanely, not suffer cruel and unusualpunishmentt, be free from sexual crimes or harassment with a right to medical care, and a right to not suffer any kind of discrimination are but a blur at Perryville.
In 2012, A New Amnesty Report found that conditions in Arizona's Maximum Security Prison in Perryville, fell below international standards for humane treatment. The report went as far as to say ''our report examined isolation units at the women's prison at Perryville, which were "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, in violation of international law". Amnesty International had only two words for Peryville Prison : ''Cruel Isolation''.
INMATE MAGGIE KERIN SPENT JUST A FEW MONTHS AT PERRYVILLE BUT SHE FOUND IT HARD TOO
Maggie Kerin spent just 7 months in maximum security at the Perryville complex in Buckeye and was released thereafter in 20111. Relieved that she had spent her time and completed it and got out of there, she said "It is really boring, there is nothing to do but just lay there sometimes 23 hours''.
She said other inmates would often taunt those inmates."They have nothing to lose and sometimes the guards would let it go," she said. Speaking to abc15 about her thoughts on what it will be like Jodi Arias, Maggie said "If Jodi has an attitude or they will be like 'Who do you think you are?'"
Kerin said she knew how difficult it was for the inmates who knew they were never getting out.
She said there were inmates who killed themselves while she was in. For those who are there for the long haul she said the only thing they can focus on is trying to get through. "They have to live with what they did," she said. "Hopefully they find some way to eventually forgive themselves."
ONE LAST LOOK AT LIFE IN PERRYVILLE
Before getting on to the Marcia Powell incident, also consider this true eye-witness account of an inmate incident at Perryville [AS REPORTED BY A MALE INMATE AT PERRYVILLE] : ''I was walking back to the yard after work. My heart was heavy. The yard was silent due to a lockdown. At about 7am, I heard a panic-stricken voice over the radio. ''This is 30 Yard to Main Control. I am initiating an ICS. I have inmate Soto in her cell. She has something tied around her neck. She is unresponsive. I need Medical and an A-Team response”
Moments later: “The nurse is administering CPR.”
The next afternoon, we were released from lock down status, so I went to see my friend, Cletis.
I asked her, ''Friend, what happened? Please tell me she didn’t die.”
“Oh my God! Yes, friend, she did die.”
Looking at me dead in the eye, she grabbed my arm.
“Friend, they couldn’t get her down. They said Soto, was blue and they couldn’t cut whatever was around her neck.
”“Where did she hang herself from?”
“The ladder.”“
Where the hell were the Suicide Prevention Aides?”“
They lost their jobs because of the budget cuts.
“Where the hell were the cops?”“
Well, Macey was showing her ass again, causing all kinds of trouble. All of the officers on 30 Yard were dealing with that.”
Cletis then asked, “Friend, do you know they sprayed her?”“
Sprayed her for what?”
''To get her to move. They unloaded a can of pepper spray in the room''
''They sprayed someone who was dead!”
“Yes, friend. Then Johnson set her room on fire. She lit the place up. That’s why we didn’t come out last night.”
“How sad,” I said. “They keep those girls back there entirely too long.”“I know, friend.”
Silence fell between us as we watched the women on the yard.
The true story of inmate Marcia Powell : Marcia who was in Perryville Prison, serving just a 2 year sentence for prostitution, had been placed in an outdoor cage for several hours by officers at Perryville, with Marcia struggling against the temperature which had reached 107.5 degrees. Marcia eventually collapsed after spending nearly four hours in the sun.
In 2008 - the very year that Jodi Arias maliciously moved a knife through the gaping skin of who would become her young murder victim Travis Alexander, a few hundred miles away in Peryville Prison, 79 prison inmates were dying, at an alarming average of one inmate losing their life every week.
On average each year at Peryville Prison, there are atleast three homicides, three suicides, and one drug overdose by inmates who get desperate, spending solitary life whilst constantly experiencing violence, harsh brutality from other inmates, and severe disciplinary force by the officers and warders who are merciless in enforcing order. The extreme no-contact solitary life drives even the strongest of inmates insane, as is seen in this tragic clip that depicts the reality of what incarcerated life of that nature does to the human soul [See :
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/locked-up-in-america/#solitary-nation]
SEXUAL MOLESTATION OCCURS AT PERRYVILLE
3 years later, young Perryville inmate Forrest Day committed suicide on January 27, 2012 at Perryville Prison on the maximum security yard, Lumley. She was only 19 years old. Hers was one of three prison suicides that week, in fact; she was the youngest. Forrest Day, 19, was serving a 3.5-year sentence for child abuse, after her infant son drowned when she left him in a tub unattended when she was 16. She used her shoelaces to hang herself at Perryville state prison on Jan. 27.
Her father, James Day, reported to the Maricopa County medical examiner that shortly before she died, Forrest Day told him officers were forcing her to have sex with them. The medical examiner's spokesman, Mike Molzhon, said the examiner took genital swabs and turned them over to a Corrections Department investigator for testing but the department did not test the swabs.
SUICIDE RATES EXTREMELY HIGH
''Nearly every day, an inmate in an Arizona prison attempts suicide'' - Bob Ortega on June 2, 2012 (doing an exclusive report for azcentral.com)
[www.azcentral.com/news/20120602arizona-prison-suicide-rate#ixzz3TJOUEKqp]
Arizona's official prison-suicide rate is 60 percent higher than the national average for the past two years, according to federal Bureau of Justice statistics. A majority of the suicides involve inmates locked in maximum security, where they are kept alone in windowless units with the lights on 24 hours a day and are allowed to leave their cells only a few times a week to shower or exercise by themselves.
Inmate Lasasha Cherry died while serving 1.5 years the Lumley Unit of ASPC-Perryville. Cherry committed suicide. She was just 24 years old.
CRUEL NEGLIGENCE AT PERRYVILLE - CAUSES FREQUENT DEATH AMONG INMATES
Perryville staff have been known to be as cruel as to neglect even inmates battling cancer. When 36-year-old Christina found a lump in her breast in April 2002, Perryville's medical staff ignored her concerns. By the time she was taken to the hospital in September, the lump had grown so large that the hospital skipped the chemotherapy and performed an immediate mastectomy. By then, however, the cancer had already spread to her other breast. Christina died the next year, three months after being released from prison. "If her cancer had been diagnosed and treated when she discovered her lump, maybe she'd still be alive [Estrella Jail had a fully staffed and equipped medical clinic which even provided Arias with a black wrist band to counter the ligament pain she has in her left wrist]
In a video taken by prison guards, Perryville inmate Tony Brown is seen just after he was put on the new medication writhing in pain while handcuffed to a gurney. His medical records show that guards told nurses his condition was worsening and that he "needed to be checked out." But there is no record of medical staff visiting his cell. Brown passed away. He was just one month away from from release from Prison due to having completed his term. Tony Brown had served a 10-year sentence in Prison but died before he could get our again.
According to a 2012 lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, the health care in Arizona’s prisons now amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, with prisoners at serious risk of "pain, amputation, disfigurement and death.”
''People are often sent to prison for two-year, three-year sentences that have turned into death sentences because of the absence of the basic minimal care'' said Dan Pochoda, legal director for the ACLU in Arizona. He said in his 40-year career, he’s never seen a worse prison health care system.
Getting back to the disturbing case of Marcia Powell who lost her life due to negligence and harsh treatment at the Good Year Prison : Marcia was placed in an outdoor, uncovered chain-link holding cell which was in plain view of a staffed control room about 20 yards away. Although prisoners are given bottled water, department guidelines call for prisoners to be confined outdoors for no more than two hours. However as is customary at Perryville where conditions for inmates can get almost inhuman, Powell was kept in the cell for almost twice that long. By 2:40 p.m. in the afternoon, Marcia collapsed. A half-hour later, Powell was taken to West Valley Hospital. However by 11:15pm in the night, she was taken off life support and pronounced dead at 12:42 a.m. It was Charles Ryan (who told Troy Hayden recently that he has already warned his staff about being firm with Jodi Arias) who made the decision to have her life support suspended.
The county medical examiner found the cause of death to be due to complications from heat exposure. Her core body temperature upon examination was 108 degrees Fahrenheit. She suffered burns and blisters all over her body.Witnesses say she was repeatedly denied water by corrections officers, though the c.o.’s deny this. The weather the day she collapsed from the heat (May 19 - she died in the early morning hours of May 20) arched just above a 107 degree high.According to a 3,000 page report released by the ADC, she pleaded to be taken back inside, but was ignored. Similarly, she was not allowed to use the restroom. When she was found unconscious, her body was covered with excrement from soiling herself. Guards had passed Powell several times throughout her stay in the cage, and some mocked her pleas for water. Powell’s eyes “were as dry as parchment” and the autopsy results show there was no sign of hydration.
Perryville officials were unapologetic, stating that the use of the outdoor holding cell for Marica was quite in order. However corrections officials later did admit that it was appropriate only for as long as prisoners were not kept in them for extended periods of time.
When Marcia died, she was all alone. When doctors removed her from life support, there was no one near her. Even though she had two children, both of whom entered the foster system long ago, none of them were notified as it was a hassle to trace and contact them, and officials at Perryville are the last to bother to spend energy of anything of that sort. To add insult to injury, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office chose not to prosecute Arizona Department of Corrections staff in the death of inmate Marcia Powell.
''Proper medical care could have prevented inmates’ suffering as well as their loss of sight, amputations, and severe disfigurement. The prison suicide rate in Arizona is also more than twice the national average, perhaps resulting from the lack of health care. Corrections officials don’t admit the poor health care, but they said that it was harder to fill medical staff vacancies because of pending plants to privatize prison health care and rule changes that cut payment to these outside contractors''. - Observations on Perryville Prison
CONCLUSION
It would be unkind and totally inappropriate to ever wish that even a convicted killer like Jodi Arias should ever have to go through what Marcia did.
However when one recalls all that she inflicted on her murder victim Travis Alexander, and then considers how much Alexander suffered at the hands of a remorseless Jodi Arias, one can't help but wonder if in the end, having this blonde, make-up conscious narcisstic Californian girl Travis Alexander lost his life to, exposed to all that waits her at Perryville, is the answer to prayer, and the success of our legal and justice system, in terms of handing out the True Justice that the Alexander family is receiving at the end of this sentencing verdict - after all.
I'm posting a few comments;
Bonnie Deschaine
I am sure after a week she will be going crazy.
Susan Brashears
Enjoy Jodie! Welcome to the Hilton
@ Poster below also uses RR a intelligent misguided Jodi supporter who I call Railroad because he wears blinders and is smarter than the nonsense he posts, oxymoronic, naive and hopelessly in lust!
Also Marcia Powell was a crackhead whore who would prance around singing silly songs and would expose herself, (was that day) their were extreme mental issues (bi-polar was one) that RR hasn't researched, she was erased from prison society' cooked in the Sun without shade, in a pen that had a cyclone fence roof, (where Jodi gets to go outside) because she would act crazy' she was cooked until her eyes had no moisture' according to coroner, newsworthy but No one was disciplined' ever!
Jodi has spent 100 days segregated from inmates, she was just allowed to buy and likely has been re-reviewed.
Rob Roman
Anyone who is informed should already know everything in this article. Nothing new here. The conditions in Arizona's prisons are an embarrassment to America and should be amended. Marcia Powell was a loudmouth who was dealt with (ie murdered). She never had any water or shade and the guards knew she would die a cruel death. Jodi Arias has spent almost 2 years in 23 hour lock-down isolation at Estrella, and she made the best of her situation. The food at Perryville is better and the heat is worse. She'll make the best of that, too. Jodi Arias read the entire story about the two prisoners at Perryville with cancer, so she's well versed about the conditions there. Living it will be much different, but she is far from naive about what lies ahead.
@ I mistakenly deleted posters name below;
There's not even a chance that Jodi might be afforded some respite by the Alexander family after what she has done to Travis ... not only his vicious death, however all the lies she presented in court regarding Travis. Her minions crucified the Alexander family mercilessly with ugly memes and stalked their work places. A certain female blogger from Florida even went as far as trying to get Tanisha fired from her job. The Alexander family are wise to all that has gone on in this bizarre case and I doubt they will ever be able to forgive all of Jodi's lies and her extreme cruelty. Jodi has made her bed and now must sleep in it unfortunately.
Trina Reagan Aines
Oh I can't wait, this is going to be what we have all been waiting for............and it's about time!!!
Jackie Tidwell
Well...that just made me sick, but in a good way. Arias will get what she deserves...what she did will come back to her in so many other ways that she will wish she got death instead of life in prison. As much as I would not wish that on anyone, Arias is headed for a hard life and her so called beauty will fade with the years to come. And the C.O.'s ... Im sure they will have their way with her, no one will care or listen. I doubt she will make it in there...suicide or neglect will be her way out, either way she is finally out of the lime light, no more fame, no more MAKE UP, and no more life.
Rudy Lanko
Sounds like this place should be CLOSED! Unfair to people only doing two or three years!
Morgan Lee
This is a lot different than the way Jodi was describing in her letter to her supporters. Just goes to show how much she lies . She made it sound like she was on vacation. Well I hope she's enjoying her stay.
Cherylann Thomas
I believe that the guards, many who are sadistic psychopaths themselves (I know, I worked in the system) will make sure she has the most unpleasant stay possible. I don't like cruelty to anyone, truth be known, but the fact is she makes herself so hateable, what else can I wish for her?
Claudia Wright
Perryville sounds like Jodi will be getting her Hell on earth as she deserves.
Joyce Creech Pulley
jodi needs to relive what she did to travis everyday of her life and then maybe she will say "darn it wasnt worth it ! Knowing she will never know anything different than what she has now, just existing and nothing else.Being told everyday when to eat when to shower when to go to bed when to get up. AND SHE DESERVES WHAT SHE HAS CREATED FOR HERSELF "A LIVING HELL"!
MaryLou Quayle
Being a survivor of a man who killed 3 people b4 he tried to kill me, I testified at the penalty phase of his trial in another state. He got the death penalty, but the Governor later commuted all death sentences. I was glad bcuz although I believe in the death penalty I truly believe that is the easy way out. I believe life in prison with no parole is way harsher. My point being although I am glad he is serving life with no parole, I am still a Godly woman and would never want to see him or anybody not receive basic food, water, medical care, ventilation and safety. That would make me the monster he is.
Lynette Rodgers
These monsters in prison deserve to be there however, the prison staff has no right to hurt, bully or refuse medical care just because they can. To do so makes the warden and everyone under him just as guilty of a crime as the inmates.

Manson was given the DP for directing a murderous rampage (wanting to start a race war' was his goal) he was also a murderer who was never charged for murdering, then California (many years later) eliminated the DP = Life in Prison, then California said all deserve Parole revues = only reason that he has frequent parole denials is because of the revisioned laws, he will never be paroled' unless on death bed, because he doesn't qualify being unsafe for release!
