That is so funny! The only problem is there would have to be tons of wish bones to make it strong enough. Or a really huge turkey that was on steroids.
This honestly made me have a huge realization. When we think of “what if I go to jail?” We just think of how do I survive in there for x amount of months or years but we don’t really think about all the holidays and special events that we would miss. And the lost time too. Somebody close to you could die and you can’t even go to the funeral. Time is priceless. Really makes you re-think your life.
I was incarcerated for 2 thanksgiving & you really have to not think about the outside because it would destroy you but good thing the people I was locked up with made the time go by easy. I’m so grateful to be spending this thanksgiving with my family for the past years, I know the pain & I wouldn’t want me or my family to go through that again.
@@lukasahs6064 American public schools in general have low standards. We don’t exactly have a good track record in terms of nutrition or good healthy meals. It’s really unfortunate!
If you treat prisoners with some sort of respect or like humans or givevthem privileges they are less likely to be violent. I hate that most of the media only show the worse of the worse and makes it seem like this is the norm.
Nathan dude...you make me mad. Other aide of the spectrum here. My husband is in the army. He chose to fight for our contry. We are expecting our first baby and he might not even BE THERE for the birth or the first 4 months of his first childs life but you know what he sacrifices his comfort and his family so that millions of others can live happier amd safer lives. That is what these people in this program are doing. Yes they are criminals and have done some seriously bad things but they are human and deserve ti be treated as such. This program is intended to fix the corruption which dehumanizes these criminals and leads them down darker paths so that THEY can live better lives even in the conditions they are in. Its the same thing.
@@nick-yr7wu I know that and I mean but the way they get treated is horrible and I know they have done bad things but some of them are in there for petty things and yes some have done some really bad stuff but look at the bigger picture
Some homeless do go to jail for the winter on purpose. I'll give you my Thanksgiving tray and rather be free on the streets than be locked up. The inmates getting fancy holiday meal must be in the feds and not the state jail.
The blonde girl at the end that said she felt blessed to know these women & has two children & this is the first holiday away from them. The entire time I was thinking what could she have possibly done to land her in jail. She seemed so sweet. I pray she turns her life around & gets the help she needs.
The girl at the end is Barbara she is one of the people that went in undercover, she ain’t actually in there in there like the real inmates are, she signed up.
Womens pod on thanksgiving: "I put all these cute little notes on all the tables to cheer everyone up and remind us what to be thankful for" Men's pod: "I ate the whole turkey"
The men’s jail seems way harder than the women’s like the women’s is basically a summer camp filled with girl drama while the men fight over haircuts and commisary😂
Happy Thanksgiving to all good Americans and a special thanks to our Military Personnel and those who have made sure that many families had a meal to eat today. Thank you to all Emergency & Medical Personnel dealing with a pandemic with unending dedication. Thank you to Law Enforcement & Firefighters for putting yourself in danger every day to protect US citizens. You are all true heroes and what’s great about living in the USA.
I was in the slammer for two years, in a federal institution in Edgefield, SC. For the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday, the prison staff would hand out large garbage bags of candy to the inmates. That was the longest two years of my life. I've been out for 16 years and I don't plan on going back.
Happy thanksgiving for all the inmates! My uncle is locked up in jail too wish you the best and good luck hopefully everybody gets out soon and hopefully one day in there you all understand and think about what you did wrong god may bless you! Happy thanksgiving
