00:00I want to cuddle. I want to be hugged.
00:03Rob and I have the best connection.
00:05That is a twin flame connection.
00:07I don't know where he's technically staying when he gets out.
00:11I know the young lady that's going to be living there.
00:14Young lady?
00:16There's things that Tia don't need to know right now.
00:18Am I your number one girl?
00:20Yeah, you're going to be with me every step of the way.
00:22If Tia can't trust Rob, then there's no relationship.
00:26I'm terrified to disappoint her.
00:28I do have my 75-year-old grandmother keeping tabs on Sam.
00:33I hope everything is okay with Rita.
00:40That's why you've got to come find me.
00:42Because I can't do this on my own.
00:44Dad, you don't deserve to be there.
00:47Did you just call me dad?
00:49I'm not your dad.
00:51Dad, you don't deserve to be there.
00:53Did you just call me dad?
00:55I hope Donnie appreciates the effort that I put into the relationship.
00:58I moved my kids here.
01:00A man got in trouble. I might be going to the hole.
01:02What did you do?
01:03I didn't do anything.
01:04Donnie does know better to push drugs in prison,
01:07but he's been paying me money.
01:09I might be going to prison.
01:10Where?
01:11Have you been committed and loyal to Willie?
01:15I'm leaving to Utah to see my mom.
01:17What about your ex-husband?
01:19Last time I slept with Donnie, like, I almost thought I was pregnant.
01:26So we don't love?
01:27No.
01:28I'm going furniture shopping, and I invited Alyssa to come with me.
01:32Anything to do with Alyssa is a horrible idea.
01:34Alyssa put her hands on me.
01:36For Bradley, like, that was it.
01:38You're sick!
01:39Bradley plans to dump you.
01:41Bradley's told everyone that she's paying his finances and getting him by while he's in jail,
01:45and he has no intention on having a future with her afterwards.
01:49This is a time of our lives.
01:55Doing my thing, doing my thing.
01:58I'll be doing my thing, doing my thing.
02:00I would never ask Bradley to choose between me and his family,
02:03but if what Alyssa says is true,
02:07it seems like there's other people who might.
02:10I'll be doing my thing, doing my thing, doing my thing.
02:15I just don't know how to handle this.
02:17I feel like you ambushed me.
02:20That's not what a friend does.
02:22I wasn't trying to hurt you, Alyssa.
02:24That's... I was your friend before your boyfriend's sister.
02:28I think that a lot of people are against you guys,
02:30and I want it to work for you, and I know you mean well.
02:33I give a... about him.
02:36Yeah, I think that shows.
02:38I think that you react on emotion.
02:43You will not step foot in that... house.
02:45You want to know why my parents don't want anything to do with you?
02:48This is why. This is a control thing.
02:50You're sick.
02:52Alyssa and I have been tight for a long time,
02:54so unfortunately, she knows what to say to get under my skin.
02:59Us being in a physical altercation months ago,
03:03I'm not saying it was right.
03:06I think it's important for me to create boundaries with you,
03:10and maybe I haven't told you about the fact that this is what you did,
03:14and this is why I created the boundary, because I don't feel like I can.
03:20You'll always be his family,
03:22and I'll always think of you as family, too.
03:31Have a good night.
03:34She can be a good listener.
03:37She can be caring.
03:39But then the chaos, I can't deal with constantly
03:42trying to put this negative idea in my head that, like,
03:45secretly everyone's plotting against you.
03:47Like, I just, like, I can't. I can't.
03:51Well, mission unsuccessful, I guess.
03:53No furniture.
03:55Bradley was supposed to call at 6,
03:57and I feel like it's times like this that it really sucks
04:03that he can't call at, like, an exact time.
04:05But, um, that's the reason for you.
04:09Bradley tends to be my lighthouse
04:12in the storm that is f****** Hurricane Alyssa.
04:22Hey, babe.
04:28It's been a f****** day.
04:31I literally just told her.
04:33I was like, dude, I can't.
04:35I can't. I can't handle it anymore.
04:38She just told me that, um, your f****** family hates me.
04:44Yeah.
04:45Like, we all know Alyssa's crazy, right?
04:49Um, but she did say some things that, like,
04:55I feel like I know don't have any truth to them,
04:59but I feel like I should ask you anyways.
05:05Because she said, and I quote,
05:08he's going to break up with you as soon as he comes home.
05:11Oh, God.
05:13That doesn't even make any sense.
05:15Just relax. Calm your insecurities
05:17when it comes to my older, psychotic sister.
05:20If I wanted to leave you, I would have left you.
05:22I'm not going to wait. Why would I wait?
05:24I don't know. Maybe there's somebody else.
05:26No, ma'am. What?
05:31In the past, I have definitely been around the block.
05:34I would like to think that I'm a retired hoe now.
05:36I'm about to be 30.
05:38So I'd like to say maturity and growth
05:40has made me develop into being a woman, a man.
05:43Stay tuned.
05:46I mean, you're with me. Simple as that.
05:49So what's the problem?
05:51I just want to make sure, I guess,
05:52that, like, we're on the same page.
05:54I'm fine. You're fine. We're fine.
05:56Everything's fine.
06:00The caller has hung up.
06:04Oh, my God. It's less than 24 hours.
06:07I see my man. He gets out of prison.
06:09I'm all over the place.
06:11I'm still packing.
06:13I'm so excited.
06:15We're going to Disneyland.
06:17Girl, move me not.
06:19We are going.
06:21We are going to Disneyland.
06:24We are going to Disneyland.
06:27We are going to Disneyland.
06:30We are going to Disneyland.
06:33We are going to Disneyland.
06:36Nyla's getting her stuff together.
06:39Nyla, say hi, baby.
06:41Hi.
06:43I have never introduced any man to my daughter.
06:49And move all the way over.
06:51So I'm nervous and overwhelmed,
06:54excited and terrified at the same time.
06:57I just want to make sure
06:59that Rob and I are still on the same page
07:02when he comes home.
07:05Hello?
07:07What's going on?
07:09I'm finna be released tomorrow.
07:19Tomorrow's a big day, man.
07:21I'm about to be free. I'm about to be released.
07:23One foot in, one foot out.
07:25And I'll never want to see this place again.
07:33I'm gonna take you all negative away from my brain.
07:35Any negative thoughts?
07:37She's been waiting for me for six months.
07:39When I get out, I see us,
07:41definitely, I say, in the next year or so,
07:43we get married, having children,
07:46we're living together, buying a house,
07:48and, you know, having a good life,
07:50spending the rest of our life together, you know?
07:52I'm gonna call you back tonight, right?
07:54But I love you. I'll miss you.
07:56I will. Love you.
07:58Love you, too. Bye, Nyla.
08:00Bye-bye, Robbie.
08:02Bye-bye, Robbie. I hope you watch me.
08:04Girl, you all late.
08:10I got a suite in Queens,
08:12really close to the prison,
08:14so that his family could have enough room
08:16and we could all gather
08:18and have a great time as well.
08:20Hold it tight.
08:22Nyla will be staying with Tisha and Toya
08:24because tomorrow,
08:26I just want to take his clothes off
08:28and punch him profusely.
08:30Repeatedly.
08:32Thank you so much.
08:34Bye.
08:36It's been almost two years
08:38since the last time
08:40I had sex.
08:48Oh!
08:50Stop thinking about it.
08:58It is 7.42
09:00in the morning. Rob is supposed to be
09:02getting out in about an hour.
09:04My heart is definitely
09:06racing, and...
09:08I don't know.
09:10I don't know what to say.
09:12It's lost for words, to be honest.
09:14I feel like as soon as Rob
09:16sees me, he is going
09:18to be so head over heels.
09:20He loves these
09:22cojones.
09:24Hey!
09:26Hello, my friend.
09:28He ain't going nowhere.
09:30His food is here.
09:32Hey, Nyla.
09:34Hey, Nyla.
09:36How you doing? Ready?
09:38How are you feeling?
09:40Nervous because it's a new experience
09:42for everybody.
09:44It's different seeing him in prison.
09:46Now we're out here in reality.
09:48I'm really just
09:50meeting this man for the first time
09:52in the outside world.
09:54This is the moment that
09:56it's either going to sink or swim.
09:58Oh, girl, I'm so nervous.
10:00I know. I know. That's what I'm trying to give you on your moment.
10:02Your throat is in your chest.
10:04You're never this quiet, ever.
10:08No, y'all didn't.
10:10I mean, you really are never this quiet.
10:12I've never seen it.
10:14Oh, ****.
10:16Oh!
10:18I feel like this is the first day of the rest of their lives for Rob and Tia.
10:20You got it, Nyla?
10:22All right.
10:24Hey, Chase.
10:26Hey. How are you?
10:28Hey. Hey, Monday.
10:30Let's just hope everything plays out how it's supposed to play out.
10:32Hey, baby. How you doing? How's everything?
10:34Hey. How you doing?
10:36How you feeling? I'm all right.
10:38I'm like out of reality.
10:40It's like it's really happening.
10:42The person I love
10:44is actually going to be tangible
10:46at any given moment.
10:48I'm like super nervous.
10:50Yes.
10:52All right. Now get down.
10:54Get down.
10:56I just can't wait for him to walk out.
10:58Okay. My clothes.
11:00Close your eyes.
11:04That's bad news.
11:06They're not going to let her out. Period.
11:08Can I wait seven years?
11:14Yeah. He wanted to go to dinner.
11:16She is concerned that I run into Ami.
11:18Last time I slept with Ami
11:20was a year ago.
11:22Why is my name in any of this?
11:24You know what?
11:42At this point, I'll be searched
11:44and all that stuff.
11:46Hello, Crystal.
11:48Yes, sir. Just park over there.
11:50Let me get you logged in, and we'll get you in for your visit.
11:52Yes, sir. Thank you.
12:00I just visited my wife, Crystal,
12:02here in Gatesville, and they're always long overdue
12:04whenever we get to see each other.
12:06Usually, when Crystal and I
12:08are face-to-face, it's emotional.
12:10You know, we're so overwhelmed to see each other.
12:12She shows me affection. We hold hands.
12:14That alone keeps me going
12:16until that loneliness sets in again.
12:18The thing about prison life,
12:20you never know what's going on,
12:22and you can't help but to think the worst.
12:26Crystal was devastated that Rita
12:28wasn't able to come today.
12:30Rita texted me
12:32early this morning that she's
12:34not feeling good.
12:36Rita!
12:38Despite my best attempts
12:40to get her to come, I ran out of time
12:42and wasn't able to bring her.
12:50Okay.
12:52It made it difficult for me, and it's even harder to hear,
12:54you know, how hurt my wife is because
12:56she misses her grandmother.
12:58I believe Rita could do more
13:00to visit Crystal.
13:02Rita puts more time into her,
13:04you know, going out with me,
13:06going out to restaurants, shopping,
13:08and things like that.
13:10All right.
13:12I've got to climb up, don't I?
13:14Yep.
13:16I have to make sure Rita understands
13:18Crystal needs her.
13:20I've got to make sure
13:22Rita understands
13:24Crystal needs her.
13:27So what happened yesterday?
13:29Crystal was sad
13:31and crying.
13:33She looks like she got all dolled up for you.
13:38I'm sorry.
13:40What happened? Just tell me.
13:42I just couldn't.
13:44Why?
13:46I just can't always jump when she hollers.
13:48When I get my age, you'll know what I'm talking about.
13:50I probably will.
13:52My last visit with Sam
13:54was basically ruined
13:56because I was so worried about Rita.
13:58She's the only blood family member
14:00that I have left.
14:02All I have is her.
14:04She's worried because
14:06as you're getting up there,
14:08she wants to basically cherish
14:10every moment she gets with you.
14:12And she's scared you're going to die tomorrow.
14:14You know, that's why I have to check in on you
14:16every other day
14:18because she thinks the worst.
14:20She thinks the worst.
14:22Thank you very much.
14:34Hey, I'm here with Rita.
14:36Where are you having lunch?
14:40I know.
14:44Yeah.
14:50I know.
14:54I know.
14:56I love you too.
14:58Can't wait for us to be
15:00together again.
15:20I know.
15:22Okay.
15:26I know.
15:36Yeah.
15:42It's too painful, yeah.
15:44I'm glad you realize that.
15:46I'm so glad
15:48to hear that.
15:50When my mom passed away,
15:52the whole world stopped.
15:54It's like all the air just got
15:56sucked out of the room.
15:58I've realized just how quickly
16:00things can happen.
16:02And life is very precious.
16:04And I need to get out
16:06and I need to be able to spend as much time
16:08with Rita as possible.
16:12I love y'all. I love y'all so much.
16:14But there's a whole line for the shower
16:16and I'm holding it up.
16:18I love you.
16:20I love you more than ranch.
16:22Bye.
16:24It makes me feel good
16:26for her to want me to be here.
16:28Well, you know she does. You're her Riri.
16:30She may be hard on you, but she loves you
16:32and she needs you more than she'll probably admit.
16:34I worry about Crystal.
16:36She's emotionally
16:38kind of distraught.
16:40She needs to prepare herself to go before
16:42the parole board.
16:44She's riding on this.
16:46I think it's just the most
16:48important thing in our marriage that we're
16:50able to start it as soon as possible.
16:52I don't want to even have to face
16:54like, do I have to divorce Crystal?
16:56I never have to want to even get to that point.
16:58I need her
17:00to come home.
17:02I'm ready for all
17:04this to be in the past.
17:06Me too.
17:08I'm really upset.
17:10Donnie told me that he could
17:12possibly, potentially be moved
17:14facilities from one facility to the other.
17:16He acts so nonchalant, like
17:18not telling me anything and I need to know
17:20what's really going on.
17:28Alright, I'll help you in a second.
17:30Alright, I'll help you in a second.
17:44This is a conduct report.
17:46It's saying that
17:48Donnie has collaborated
17:50to procure and distribute
17:52unauthorized drugs.
17:54Inmate,
17:56his phone calls were monitored
17:58and showed that he was buying large amounts
18:00of drugs from Donnie
18:02and then selling them to other
18:04inmates.
18:0681 face-sized piece of
18:08K2, two strips of
18:10Suboxone at the facility.
18:14What I'm reading is insane.
18:16Like, drugs?
18:18I'm not even kidding.
18:20What I'm reading is insane.
18:22Like, drugs?
18:24I'm not being a part of that. I have too much to lose.
18:26I have my own life. I have kids.
18:28And my kids only have me
18:30at the end of the day.
18:32If that is the case, that it is
18:34procuring drugs,
18:36I will be hurt, like a knife
18:38in my heart hurt.
18:42Inmate instructed his uncle
18:44to send $500
18:46to cash out to
18:48this is my
18:50cash out.
18:52Why is my name
18:54in any of this?
18:56What is going on?
18:58This is a drug charge
19:00and my name is tied to this?
19:02When I had nothing to do
19:04with this? He knows that
19:06anything dealing with drugs, I'm
19:08done. It's over.
19:10And I've been taken off his
19:12visitation list?
19:14Mm-mm-mm.
19:20Like, I literally
19:22just moved here so that I can
19:24visit you, me and the kids,
19:26and now I'm off your visitation list.
19:30This is so stupid.
19:32I'm so pissed
19:34off.
19:40You know what?
19:42You know what?
19:44I'm gonna figure it out.
19:46He don't have any answers.
19:48You know what? I'm gonna call the prison.
19:50I'm gonna figure this out. I'm irritated.
19:52I'm pissed off. I have to
19:54figure this out. I really
19:56hope that this is just a big misunderstanding.
19:58In prison, it's
20:00a different world. People will plot on you
20:02just because they're hating on you.
20:04Donnie could be
20:06falsely accused.
20:12She told me
20:14that Bradley's planning on breaking up with me
20:16as soon as he gets home. Oh, my God.
20:18I need reassurance.
20:20If Bradley's love is true, he'll
20:22wear my name in ink. I just wanted to
20:24ask you why you won't get my name tattooed
20:26on your forehead.
20:28Hi, Mom. My mom doesn't want
20:30to be on camera because she's going through radiation.
20:32We were planning to get married.
20:34Oh, my gosh. I can't
20:36stop you. If we ruin your life,
20:38that's you.
20:42Hey, I love you.
20:44I'll see you in a little bit. Bye, Mom.
20:46Are you ready? Yeah.
20:48Why'd your mom call?
20:50She wanted me to bring her guaca.
20:52You're really gonna take a pig head
20:54through TSA? That's what she wants.
20:56I'm dead.
21:02Are you excited to go?
21:04Yeah. Ready to get out of here.
21:06I'm going to Utah
21:08to see my mom.
21:10In my Tongan culture,
21:12we're a big fan of pigs.
21:14We call it guaca.
21:16And so the best part of the pig
21:18is the pig's head.
21:20We give the head to the most important person.
21:22And so Mom gets
21:24what Mom wants.
21:26Are you excited
21:28to see your mom? Mm-hmm.
21:30I miss her so much.
21:32The last time you saw her,
21:34she wasn't sick.
21:36Now she doesn't have hair.
21:38Now she's just so weak.
21:40She lost a lot of weight.
21:42I just feel bad. I can't wait to see her
21:44and just talk to her about moving out there
21:46and see what she thinks about it.
21:48Earlier this year,
21:50my mom was having headaches.
21:52She went to go do a checkup
21:54and found out she has cancer.
21:56And I think
21:58it's the sinuses.
22:00I'm gonna cry because,
22:02you know, she's a strong woman.
22:04Single mom.
22:06Right. And I'm the only one that's not there.
22:08And, like, she'd rather have
22:10all of us in one state.
22:12My whole world just
22:14stopped, and I just felt like my life
22:16should just be about my mom.
22:18Have a good one, Cindy.
22:20You too.
22:28Good morning, babe.
22:30How you doing?
22:32You good? Yeah, I'm good.
22:34I'm just on my way to the airport right now.
22:38It's only right for me
22:40to go back home and
22:42be there for my mom at this time.
22:44But Willie is
22:46nervous about me going to Utah.
22:50I don't know.
22:52He's concerned that
22:54I run into Ami.
22:56We were married for 13 years, and
22:58last time I slept with Ami was a year ago.
23:00And Willie was very upset.
23:02You wouldn't
23:04mind if I, like,
23:06if he wanted to go to dinner or something?
23:08Baby, don't be acting up.
23:10Don't be doing no nonsense out there.
23:12You know what I'm talking about, too.
23:14Yeah. Got it.
23:16Who you love, baby? Daddy.
23:18And who loves you, baby?
23:20Daddy. And whose world is this?
23:22His mother...
23:24MJ's world.
23:26Okay. I miss you.
23:28All right, baby. Our call's on the air. I love you.
23:30Talk to you later. Okay, bye.
23:32Bye.
23:34Oh, my gosh.
23:36I think MJ's ex-husband's
23:38a little bitch. I think he's a bum.
23:40Like, he hit his only
23:42caller when he's drunk as hell.
23:44You know what I mean? You had your turn, you know what I'm saying?
23:46My mom
23:48knows Ami's a good person to her
23:50as a son-in-law, and the last
23:52time I told her about Willie, she
23:54wasn't really happy about it.
23:56Getting closer to my gate. Utah,
23:58here we come. I don't want to hear
24:00my mom keep shoving Ami in my face
24:02like, Ami, Ami, Ami. Ami
24:04and I are really good friends, and that's it.
24:06Okay, so, finally made it to
24:08Salt Lake.
24:10So, I'm kind of nervous to
24:12tell her that me and Willie's planning on getting married.
24:16Oh, my gosh.
24:22Ma'am, you are not
24:24on his emergency contact list, and I'm not
24:26available to take you from here.
24:28How can I not figure out what's going on, and my
24:30name is tied into something that has nothing
24:32to do with me. That's all I can say.
24:48Hey.
24:50Sorry I was late, guys. I
24:52was just wrapping up a phone call with Bradley.
24:54So, yeah. How was
24:56y'all day?
25:00Can I get a diet Coke, please?
25:02Yeah, I gotcha. And I'll do the Passion
25:04Fruit Iced Tea. Alright, sounds
25:06good. That does sound good.
25:08Maddie and I have
25:10actually been friends since I moved to
25:12Virginia in the fifth grade.
25:14Thank you. That looks bomb. Oh, my God, that does.
25:16Isaiah and Maddie have
25:18been in the same recovery
25:20treatment program.
25:22They got sobered together, and
25:24they just became really close, and
25:26Isaiah is the best. We love
25:28him. How'd the call go?
25:30I mean, I had to have a conversation
25:32with Bradley's sister. She told me
25:34her whole family hates me,
25:36and that Bradley's planning on
25:38breaking up with me as soon as he gets home.
25:40Oh, my God.
25:42Do you feel like any of that is true?
25:44I don't know, but that's not something
25:46I have any control over, and I'm not gonna stress
25:48what I can't control. Yeah, I understand.
25:50It's Bradley.
25:56What are you doing? Nothing.
25:58We're just eating appetizers. I'm sitting here with
26:00Maddie and Isaiah. Hey.
26:02Hi, Bradley.
26:04How you doing? We're supposed to be
26:06planning your homecoming party, because this
26:08is my party planning crew,
26:10but I just wanted
26:12to ask you
26:14why you won't get my name tattooed
26:16on your forehead.
26:18That's crazy.
26:20The forehead? No, I'm serious.
26:22Yeah. Alyssa
26:24said a lot of crazy
26:26stuff, so I need
26:28reassurance. If Bradley's love
26:30is true, he'll wear my name in ink.
26:36Why?
26:40Let's
26:42ask the collective.
26:44I would never get nobody's name tattooed
26:46on me. Nobody? No.
26:48I've just seen it go down in flames
26:50so many times. No, ma'am.
26:52So, high five. We agreed to
26:54not getting tattooed, right?
26:56I guess he's not gonna get my name tattooed
26:58on his forehead.
27:00I feel like Savannah having insecurities
27:02about the relationship between her and Bradley
27:04is maybe seeking
27:06some type of attention, possibly,
27:08that
27:10she's not getting. I don't know.
27:13Ugh.
27:15For you.
27:17Ugh. Love you. Bye.
27:19Ugh.
27:21I don't like when he's like that.
27:23Are you getting a name on you?
27:25Yeah. I want to get his name.
27:27Right here.
27:29I think that our relationship
27:31is stronger than a superstition.
27:33Okay.
27:35Oh, that's crazy. What?
27:37It says many tattoo artists will tell you that
27:39inking a partner's name on your body
27:41is the kiss of death
27:43to your relationship.
27:45Hell no. It's a no.
27:47Period.
27:49Why did you write this in the same sentence?
27:51There's no way.
27:53That's literally what it says.
27:55The fact that he won't get my name tattooed
27:57on him definitely raises
27:59some questions. It's really weird.
28:01That's...
28:03But I know that deep down
28:05he's just a little lover boy.
28:07I don't think he's opposed to me getting
28:09a tattoo tattooed on me.
28:11Wait till after he gets out?
28:13No. He's gonna try to talk me out of it.
28:15I know my man. I know that he's gonna like this.
28:17And eventually, Bradley's gonna get
28:19I promise to love Savannah forever and ever
28:21on his forehead.
28:23Don't be cute.
28:25Don't do it.
28:27♪♪♪♪
28:29♪♪♪♪
28:31I'm on my way
28:33to Crystal's parole lawyer.
28:35I'm gonna ask if she gets a yes,
28:37her chances, stuff like that.
28:39♪♪♪♪♪
28:41♪♪♪♪♪
28:43♪♪♪♪♪
28:45Oh!
28:47I'm Thad Davidson. Nice to meet you.
28:49Pull up a chair. Make yourself comfortable.
28:51Thank you very much.
28:53So in my initial review,
28:55Crystal, she becomes parole eligible
28:57on October 6, 2024.
28:59Exciting, except
29:01I have the original indictment
29:03and it says that she was convicted
29:05of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
29:07And the key portion of that phrase,
29:09deadly weapon, that's bad news.
29:11So should she
29:13stab him? What should she do?
29:15Crystal told me that it was a laceration
29:17about that long on his forehead.
29:19She was married
29:21young as well to the victim.
29:23Okay.
29:25And through a history of drug use,
29:27this is the climax of that unhealthy
29:29relationship.
29:31I'm not proud of it,
29:33but my ex-husband and I
29:35were both very violent people.
29:37We argued constantly.
29:39So, you know, one thing led to another
29:41and it was just
29:43a snapped moment.
29:45She received probation
29:47shortly after
29:49she had a probation violation.
29:51What was the violation?
29:53A failed drug test and a contact with the victim.
29:55Okay.
29:57Here's the problem. She stabbed him with a knife.
29:59She was convicted of it.
30:01If the parole board thinks
30:03for a moment that she's
30:05going to reach out to him,
30:07they're not going to let her out.
30:09I mean, period. Okay.
30:11So, for instance,
30:13does she want to get out on parole and somehow
30:15initiate contact with him?
30:17It is my biggest worry
30:19and has been for years
30:21coming up to parole.
30:23He actually even
30:25visited Crystal in state prison
30:27after this
30:29probation conviction.
30:31She cannot have any contact with him,
30:33period, for the rest of her life,
30:35nor should she. Okay. Look what happened
30:37to her. I mean, I don't, I agree
30:39with you completely and I want her to get
30:41out. I want to have a chance to live my life
30:43with her. What's the chances
30:45at all that she may make
30:47that first parole?
30:49So, a good lawyer doesn't give odds,
30:51but she will get a hearing.
30:53This is a parole packet
30:55that the parole board will receive.
30:57The board. Family support letters.
30:59Letters of potential employment.
31:01I will make sure to represent her. Okay.
31:03The good news is that
31:05she can have up to two family members,
31:07sometimes three, actually
31:09attend the hearing. I did not know that,
31:11actually. Yeah. Bad news,
31:13the other side
31:15can be their victim
31:17and if there is a
31:19protest from the
31:21victim, it makes it very, very difficult.
31:24Hypothetically,
31:26are you able to deal with
31:28the reality that she may not get out
31:30this time around?
31:32When I married her, you know,
31:34I knew at that time, just like I know now, that
31:36that could be till 2031.
31:38The other side of that,
31:40though, is I can't envision
31:42going on just
31:44perpetually. You need
31:46to take care of yourself.
31:48I appreciate that advice.
31:50You know, I've been asked,
31:52can I wake seven years?
31:54It's not something I generally like
31:56to face. That's a lot
31:58of my life spent
32:00alone.
32:02That question was asked
32:04four years ago, too. Can I wait four years?
32:06And the question
32:08was a lot more unknown
32:10then and
32:12now I got to this point,
32:14you know, even if I
32:16didn't think I could.
32:18So it's...
32:22Oh,
32:24God.
32:28I guess
32:30I'm emotional because
32:32I...
32:34I want this so
32:36bad. I really appreciate
32:38your help me out.
32:46If you
32:48think it's going to come and change
32:50and take care of you,
32:52I can't stop you, but
32:54Ami was good for you. My mom thinks
32:56Ami's such a nice guy.
32:58Oh, my God.
33:00What do you want, Ami?
33:10I'm, like, super nervous.
33:12Butterflies all throughout
33:14my stomach. I just can't wait
33:16for him to walk out.
33:20Whoa. Hold your eyes.
33:30Oh, snap.
33:32Hi, babe.
33:40What's up, baby?
33:44How you doing?
33:46It feels surreal.
33:48I feel kind of unreal, like I'm stepping into a dream
33:50because I've been gone so long, but I'm just so happy
33:52and excited to be out here, man.
33:54After all, doing 10 years incarcerated,
33:56so I'm just happy to be back.
33:58Beautiful girl by my side,
34:00you know, to take over the world.
34:08What's up, baby?
34:10You know I got to see myself.
34:12I love you, baby.
34:14Always have.
34:16I always love you.
34:18All right. Your rules.
34:22All right.
34:24That was a sweat.
34:26What's up, baby?
34:28Thank God, man. I'm back. I made it.
34:30It's great to be back with the family
34:32and my loved ones.
34:34I have Tia by my side, you know.
34:36I love you, too, bro.
34:38I'm amazed at how big you got.
34:40Without them and their support, too, I don't know how
34:42far I would have really gotten.
34:44I took one shade.
34:46I know. I see you.
34:48Rest in peace, Mommy.
34:50I lost my mother back in 2014
34:52while I was locked up.
34:54That was hard, you know.
34:56It don't feel good for no mother losing their son to the system
34:58and being incarcerated.
35:00I know that broke her heart.
35:02I know she would really be proud of me
35:04and my transition and me being home right now.
35:06What's up, big homie?
35:08What's up, baby?
35:10I remember doing my first bid,
35:12and I came home. I knew I was going back to the streets.
35:14Still don't feel real, bro.
35:16I know.
35:18This time, I'm confident that
35:20I'm out and I'm here to stay, man,
35:22for good and enjoy my freedom.
35:24Look who it is.
35:26Look at you. You're so adorable.
35:28Here you go.
35:30I do want to take my time and build a relationship
35:32with Nyla.
35:34Show me how to play later?
35:36Okay, that's good.
35:38For Tia, I would definitely take that step.
35:40I know it's a lot on you.
35:42I'm sorry for putting that pressure on you like that.
35:44I know I've probably been a little snappy.
35:46There's just a lot going on here,
35:48so I just want to know that
35:50I do care for you, and I appreciate you
35:52for being everything you do.
35:54It's so unreal.
35:56I know. That's what I'm saying to myself.
35:58Are we really standing in the street right now?
36:00All right, yeah.
36:02So I guess
36:04Nyla is going to go down and show him his t-shirt.
36:06Okay. You stand upstairs.
36:08Thank you for it.
36:10You all right?
36:14Eight years since I had
36:16any type of sexual intercourse,
36:18so that's a long time.
36:20I definitely want to go back to the hotel.
36:22Some activities.
36:24That's what I'm really waiting for.
36:26Savage time.
36:28Deuces.
36:34What's up, mama?
36:38What's up?
36:42I just want to get him home,
36:44to be honest.
36:46I don't even want to keep my hands off of him.
36:50Don't start nothing now, girl.
36:52I feel jittery.
36:54It's like I feel like I'm about to get married
36:56or some s***. That's how I feel inside right now.
36:58Oh, it felt good.
37:00Mm-hmm.
37:02Everybody look.
37:04Everybody stare. Everywhere I go, but I don't.
37:06I am on my way right now
37:08to pick up my mom.
37:10I'm taking her to her radiation today.
37:12I'm kind of nervous about
37:14bringing the whole Will thing in it.
37:16We'll see if I'm really the baby child today.
37:24Hi, Mom.
37:26My mom doesn't want to be
37:28on camera because she's going through radiation
37:30right now. You're okay, Mom.
37:32You look great. She's losing
37:34her hair. Her body's just
37:36weak, and so she doesn't
37:38want to be seen being so weak.
37:40So, Mom, what do you think about
37:42me moving back home?
37:44I want you to
37:46come back. I knew it
37:48because I'm your favorite child. I try to tell
37:50people that. Like, they don't understand.
37:52Yeah, we get along about five minutes
37:54and we fight again.
37:57You will not be charged
37:59for this call.
38:01Hi, baby.
38:03Say hi to my mom. You're on speaker.
38:05Hi, Willie.
38:18This is the first time
38:20my mom spoke to Willie
38:22since we've been together.
38:24My mom known Willie for
38:2616 years. He's
38:28always been around our family, and so
38:30my mom loved Willie
38:32because he was a very respectful person.
38:34But I think she just
38:36wants me to be in a really good relationship
38:38with someone that's not in prison.
38:40Take care of yourself.
38:42Four more weeks.
38:44Okay, love you. Bye.
38:46Love you, bye.
38:48We were planning
38:50to get married right when he get out of jail.
38:52Oh my gosh.
38:54Do you think he's gonna change?
38:56I hope. I'm praying
38:58he does. I don't know about him,
39:00but Ami was good for you.
39:02Oh.
39:04He treat you good. I know
39:06he loves you. There's nothing
39:08wrong with that.
39:12My mom loves Ami.
39:14My mom thinks Ami's such a nice guy.
39:16If you think Willie's gonna come
39:18and change and take care of you,
39:20I can't stop you.
39:22If you ruin your life, that's you.
39:24My mom's crazy.
39:26When she has something to say, she's gonna say it.
39:32How are you feeling, Mom?
39:34I'm feeling good.
39:36So, if you plan to get married,
39:38why are you still talking to your ex?
39:40I already told you. Mom, how do you know
39:42I'm still talking to you? Because I know
39:44you're my daughter.
39:46That's the truth. That's all I ask.
39:48If you stop lying, everything
39:50gonna go smooth.
39:56You have to choose which way.
39:58I love Willie.
40:00I want to be with him, and that's
40:02what I want.
40:06Oh, my gosh.
40:08Hello?
40:10Why would you ask me that?
40:14What do you want, Ami?
40:18Don't push me.
40:24Don't push me.
40:26Don't push me.
40:28I literally just moved here
40:30so that I can visit you,
40:32and now he's
40:34gotten in charge for procuring drugs.
40:36I'm gonna figure it out.
40:38He don't have any answers.
40:40You know what?
40:42Don't push me.
40:44Don't push me.
40:46Man, correctional.
40:48How can I help you? Hello.
40:50My name is Jaquima.
40:52I'm trying to get some information
40:54regarding my boyfriend.
40:56Yes, can you provide
40:58the inmate name and number, please?
41:00Yes, his name is Donnie.
41:02Inmate number...
41:04The only thing he told me
41:06was that he went to the hole
41:08and that he's possibly gonna get moved.
41:10And then I get this ticket in the mail,
41:12and my name is in the ticket,
41:14and it's so alarming. It's a red flag.
41:16So I'm just trying to figure out what's going on
41:18because I don't have anything to do with drugs.
41:20I don't deal with drugs.
41:22I don't sell drugs. I don't do drugs.
41:24I'm a little all over the place right now.
41:26What happened?
41:28What did I have to do with it?
41:30Why am I taking off the visitation list?
41:32My biggest concern
41:34with Donnie catching this charge
41:36is him not being able to be released next year.
41:38We had so many things
41:40that we were planning to do,
41:42but it just didn't suck.
41:56How can I not figure out
41:58what's going on, and my name is tied
42:00into something that has nothing to do with me?
42:12Where is he?
42:18Okay.
42:20Well, thank you. You were no help, but thank you for letting me know
42:22that he's been moved.
42:24I'm flabbergasted.
42:26Flabbergasted. I don't know.
42:28He better be
42:30even closer than he has been.
42:32He better be literally next door.
42:38Next time on Love During Lockup...
42:40Open the door.
42:42What do you want, Ami?
42:46What are you gonna do when Willie's out and you want Ami?
42:48Why are you in something
42:50regarding drugs?
42:54When Crystal first got to prison, she had a wife.
42:56I heard Brittany's back.
42:58Charges should be filed against them.
43:02Get out!
