Desantine.....You got it EXACTLY RIGHT! I know nothing about what crimes these men did but they proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are good human beings. When their next parole hearing comes up parole should be immediately granted. IMO they earned themselves "another chance".
@@2fewdaysafield But the law must be cautious. If he is indeed a good person then by all means factor that in for an early release. A more insidious inmate might try to use it as leverage for an early release under the guise of humanitarian act.
I have to agree. After 36+years in law enforcement I always looked at it as good vs bad. Well..........the bad is not always bad. These are really stand up guys.
People make mistakes in life. These men prove that mistakes don’t make you a bad person. I will always believe there is good in the world. Men like these reinforce that belief.
I hope this eases the stereotype that not everyone in jail or prison is bad. There are some awesome people locked up. They just got caught in a bad situation at some point in their life
@Texan 214 The case can be more complicated than you think. For example, a father agrees or commits fraud in his company to siphon off money to pay for his child's medical bills. Got caught and thrown in jail. A person unknowingly became a partner to a scammer in a business that looked legit on the outside and became the scapegoat. Got caught and thrown in jail. A faithful man recently divorced by his cheating wife drinks away his sorrow in a bar, drive drunk on his way home and killed a person by accident. Charged with manslaughter and gets thrown to jail.
@Texan 214 It's the reason behind the crimes that would give a glimpse of who they are. If you steal from others for your own selfish greed then you earn all the prison time that comes your way. Otherwise my sympathy you have to go through that. But a crime is still a crime and you have to take responsibility for your action and do your time diligently and hopefully you get out early out of good behaviour. Ther is indeed a way to get out of their situation. But sometimes those ways aren't goos enough, fast enough or they don't know there is that kind of way. Like hell I don't even know America has a Go Fund Me until last year to ask for donations for, say, correctional surgery for that limb that impairs you from having a normal life.
As an ex-prison guard for ten years I have seen the good, the bad and the indescribable. These guys stepped up just like many others would have. By many I do not mean the majority or close to it. Ignore what texan214 says...being from texas his IQ was probably stuck on stupid. I totally understand what you were trying to say. If only people opened their minds and closed there mouths instead of the other way around.
The officer was having cardio issues, either way a huge thank you to the inmates who while in custody, did the right Christian thing. God bless you 6 young men.
Life is about second chances 😌, though we all make mistakes in life, doesn't mean that the people who do make mistakes can't turn their lives around. I'm proud of them 👏💜
Thanks, fellas. Good karma breeds good karma. I hope you got some of it. That officer trusted you guys and you did not let him down. You made some hearts sing and I bet yours did, too.
These men should be given pardoned and released without much further "ado." These men have already experienced conversion but legality around their case causes not to make their life morally and physically free sooner as it could after this event.
This is what life is all about! Helping others in need! Not one upping one another! Thank you guys for saving a man you really didn't have to! Yall are the real heroes
God Bless all and their families I pray as soon as those guys finish their time that they live a long quiet life as free men happy 😊 with love 💕 from family and friends 🛐✝️☮️💟💞
Have to love the way the guard trusted them, too, rather than panicking and calling for assistance or backup himself. All that junk the Officer was wearing--we wore it in the military, carrying rifles, packing our clothing and equipment on our backs, walking through sand in 120 degree heat with no breeze and a crowded formation of people sucking sand laden air... not fun. This isn't exactly what that guard was going through--but close enough.
Damn, this is hard. Imagine coming to the scene and watching inmates kneeling over a partner, no way of knowing what happened, how would you not suppose he has been overpowered or killed?
RL R I was thinking the same thing. I can only assume that once other officers arrived, the inmates automatically went and hit the floor with their hands behind their heads.
Heroes and Angels come from all walks of life. Praise the good Lord for them being in the right place, at the right time. I hope these gentleman are recognized for their good deed.💙🙏💜
No sarcasm intended, that is one 911 call I would love to have heard! Operator: "9-1-1, what's the nature of your emergency?" Inmate: "Uh, yeah. I'm an inmate with 'X' prison on work detail at the Polk County Cemetery. Our detail guard just passed out. We removed his gun, belt, bulletproof vest plus we have his cellphone and the keys to the work van. Could you send an ambulance?" All of a sudden S.W.A.T. pulls up... Seriously though, I would loved to have seen the faces of the responding units. Shown up and everyone's still there. 11Alive when you get a copy of the 9-1-1 call please post it.
These men obviously want to do the right thing. For them, they'll likely not end up back in prison after being released. They are the heroes in this story. Just goes to show that sometimes good people make bad decisions that end them up in prison. Don't mean they bad people. They were at a cross roads, but took the right turn!! God bless these men!!!
It just goes to show that not everyone who brakes the law is a bad man, or a less moral person in some way. Too many people end up locked up for crimes that shouldn't be crimes like drugs, which is crazy. Many men are being made felons just for the things they choose to do to their own bodies. I mean, a little bit of cocaine in your pocket is in no way a threat to anyone, but it'll still get you in jail.... it's crazy.
Drugs kill people. People kill people. Cars, trucks, trains, and planes kill people. Alcohol kills people. Falling kills people. Water kills people. Animals kill people. So many thousands more things kill people. One here is completely avoidable by anyone, anywhere and at any time. The drugs. Cocaine, meth, heroin, and other drugs of that nature _should_ be illegal and perhaps even carry harsher sentences. How crazy would it be if your best friend died from a heroin overdose? If drugs are your thing stick with only cannabis. Alcohol poisons entire lives from the bottom to the top.
these people could be in for speeding or something, just because you may do drugs or something doesn't mean you want to kill people and are truly a bad person
I used to be a Chaplin part time at Santa Rosa County Florida jail a few years back. I also belong to a band called Heavenly Freedom, and we played and sometimes preached at Camp 5 Escambia County work camp in Pensacola Florida. I remember one Friday night, I happened to preached and sang a solo. At the end of my message, I offered an alter call. 37 inmates came to the alter. One other band member was ordained besides me, and we were the only 2 who were allowed to have contact with the inmates. Some said they only came to the alter to get out of going back to their cells. I disagreed, and the guards agreed with me too. They had to get up at 5 AM to work, so they were loosing sleep. Our thoughts were also, if it changes 1 life for the better, we were successful. I've since retired and haven't been to camp 5 for 12 years. Yet now and then I run into some of the men and they remember that night. Most of them are still living for the Lord, as far as we know, they didn't go back to prison. Why say all of this? Like these men in this story, they are caring people that have made mistakes, but were paying their debts to society. Sadly, because of their records, jobs will be hard to come by. I hope these men will receive a letter of reference pertaining to their actions on this day. Lord Bless
It don't matter what us inmates do. Not all of us Inmates was the same as before. Yes they could've ran off but they didn't. Congrats to those who helped that cop. For a inmate like me... I would've done the same thing. Respect 2 y'all inmate
The miserable legal system doesn't give a damn about their fellow human beings. Our legal system is broken and needs to be fixed. These men for their act of valor and heroism should have reduced sentences. The U.S. prison system houses more inmates than any other country in the world. This needs to change. Instead of prison, most inmates should be given treatment, it's a lot cheaper and a great deal more effective.
I think it's bearable for a normal person, but the officer has a medical condition which made him more prone to heat/humidity. Not to mention, the officer is wearing a vest + gun belt... the vest alone must make it much more uncomfortable.
If it's too hot for inmate send there asses over seas where it's 120 and then add all the gear we wear cause it's good enough for our troops it's good enough for inmates
This should be good for a significant sentence reduction for all involved. As others have posted, not everyone locked up is evil. That should be common sense.
I think unless these men should be shown mercy for there crimes for what they did unless they were convicted of taking someone's life or sex crimes against a child.They clearly showed human compassion.
The point of going before the parole board is to determine wether one is rehabilitated or not...I believe this is their proof and hope these men were rewarded within the correctional system
An old officer said this once.... Most county jail inmates are good people.. they just found themselves cross with the law. I hope they can all had their sentenced reduced to time served (If they were on work detail, they probably aren't there for murder)
Great group of guys, regardless of what they were imprisoned for people make mistakes. I can't help but think about how they have all these guys out here doing work in this heat in cotton prison jumpsuits. And that stupid camera work reenacting the cop fainting was ridiculous.
I hope that Sheriff took these inmates to Long Horn for a steak dinner . To show other inmates good behavior is rewarded . Maybe then the bad ones will take notice and reform .
I hope they understand that feeling of doing the right thing and helping someone is the best rush of feelings you can have. Had the opportunity to take the gun and kill him and didn't. Could have simply let him die and didn't. Could have tried to run and didn't. They decided to be adults and good human beings and I understand they all did something to put themselves there but I do hope that they can get a bit of time off for the life saved. A life saved is worth a lot and they did make the correct decision that day no matter what wrong decisions they made prior they in some way can blatantly make the right choices.. That's enough for me to give a chance for all of them. And I'm a person who prefers to lose the key after locking people up kinda thing.. Good on them ...
You have to remember that most people in local jails are there because of economics. On the other hand most cops, prosecutors, judges, and politicians rarely make it through a day without committing one or more felony's but the public has no way to prosecute them and hold them accountable.
You know what's cool also...... these guys might have done wrong and make bad decisions. They may deserve to be serving their time but it also made give them feeling of worth, that they did good oh, that they took care of another human being in a time of need. To me it sounds like a pretty good part of their Rehabilitation and Punishment. Good for them
Well crap, why not give the inmates a break..if it's too hot for the officer to be out walking around..why are the inmates out in the heat??? Why is his life more important than theirs???
there are people who make mistakes. but they have a chance at something new in life that they have, all of which is why we make mistakes. but to the people who are out there .. let's not forget that we don't judge them becouse of what did has been hurt them or is their sin. man does not prefect like what we are. do not judge them for their sins. yes right there are people who are really bad. but not all .. let's not put them in a jar and measure them according to our standards. because man has 2 things in this world .. that is the person who understands and forgives. Remember our hands have only two things to do. The first is to close your hand and shut you out and being judgmental. and the one thing is the hand that is open to give his forgiveness.
I would rather be a sailor than an inmate. Inmates almost never get raped. Sailors choose the length of time they spend in the Navy. The Seaman gets a good job after the military if he got an education while in the service. They get free housing. They get free medical service, etc. There's lots of good stuff for being a sailor but being an inmate is Hell on earth.
Matt Foley, I'm not sure what to take from your comment "inmates almost never get raped". In the context of your comment it almost seems like comparing pros and cons so when you said that it made me think like you could have been saying sailors get raped more than inmates.
Not everyone is evil. People make bad decisions and shit happens. These guys did good by me and bless them for it.
