- Prison For Life: Women's Maximum Security Prison (Sir Trevor McDonald Documentary)
Sir Trevor McDonald meets more inmates inside two of Indiana's most dangerous women's prisons. Among them are Dawn Hopkins, who was sentenced to life for murdering her three-month-old son, and Sarah `Cindy' White, who was incarcerated as a teenager and will spend the rest of her life behind bars.
The veteran broadcaster also hears the remarkable story of Linda Darby who, after escaping from jail in 1972, spent the next 35 years on the run - before the law finally caught up with her.

So the woman who killed her baby gets out in 15 but the lady who was 16 who killed her abusers never gets to get out
I hate the american justice system
so,, do something about it ....
Exactlyyyyy
donbe fooled she made the abuse up after her conviction
@evilangel7769 In the hospital for months, she was in and out of that fire multiple times. Why do think that is?
beezus bhrist again....you’re assuming she told the truth on camera....I’d like to hear the “real” facts. She’s not in there because she’s innocent....everyone is innocent in prison.
"Now he's permanently blind" she says with a smirk... She's in the right place, she doesn't need to raise children
Her partner was sentenced to 50 years. But she was sentenced to 30 but only had to serve15 in prison... She has absolutely no idea what she did wrong, other than getting caught.
She should never lay eyes on her kids. I'm glad her victim lived. Hate the smirk and light hearted way she talks about a attempted murder as if it was a day at church.May she rot.
Diana Dundidit agreed I MUST HAVE MISSED THE SMIRK BUT THE WHOLE CONVERSATION SHE SEEMED GIDDY
It’s a nervous laugh
She and Sarah Pender have very inappropriate facial expressions.
I did 2 1/2 years in a woman’s prison in Massachusetts. I got out in 2012 and haven’t been in any trouble/arrested since the day I walked out of there. My charges weren’t drug related but I committed them because I was addicted to drugs. I’m 31 now, have two beautiful children, a loving husband, a townhouse that we own and a truly amazing life. The cell mate I had the longest was doing life. She had murdered a man who had abused her child. So many people are amazed that I still send her money and letters and cards. But she is truly one of the nicest and one of the most kind hearted people I’ve ever met. She’s getting older these days and I’m really trying to visit her, but I now live in Maryland and just don’t have enough money to travel up there but I’m determined to find a way. I don’t think she’ll ever know what a great impact she has made on me and how I live my life now.
You’re amazing ♥️♥️
I really understand and relate to this comment!!! I did 2 years in Indiana, spent some of that time at the prison from this documentary. My charge was of a financial nature, no substance abuse, so I felt sort of like a tropical bird thrown off course during hurricane season because I had never been in trouble before and came from a "normal" life and now was suddenly in this strange underworld of prison. I met the occasional unsavory character, but also the best friends I have ever had! One of them just got released after 11 years! And one passed away from breast cancer and I have a memorial tattoo for her. Life is truly crazy.
What a wonderful story❤...I'm in MA and bring books to the library at the women's prison in Framinham. I'd be happy to check in and visit your friend...not sure how you'd PM me on here tho?

Cindy White deserves to be paroled. She was 16 and has served 38 years. She is no threat to society. Kiana looked like she was proud of shooting a man in the face, yet she will get set free. It doesn't make sense.
A fire bug has a compulsion to light fires....Would you want Cindy to live next door to you?? ...I would Pass if I were you......Not Sure?...Try lighting a match and hold it under YOUR finger for say 8 seconds ,...Then tell us if you want her next door??
@@williamfielding6476 yes, I would be comfortable having her as my neighbor.
@@williamfielding6476 I believe there is a wide difference between a "fire bug" and someone trying to escape an abusive situation. Unfortunately the fire got out of control as they tend to do.
@@desimae0324 She was free to go...(You can't buy gasoline over the phone) What do you not understand about "Indiana's MOST DANGEROUS prison"??? Inmates are not here because they stole some Matchbooks.....💥
Completely agree. Cant keep kids locked up for so long. Time to move is. They are just in for the profit of the prison systems.
He is such a good interviewer. He asks questions without judgement.
I agree. He is so unbias. He'd be the best Supreme Court Justice Judge.
tawnya Rasmussen As an Ex Pat living in USA I miss Trevor he is exceptional. He used to read the evening news when I was a child and looked up to him as a black Englishman,
Yeah
oh ya!....I wonder why......bloody bolsheviks!..........u put one to prison, and get bakkkk4 kids!......oh ya!....the right to make 10 babies on death row!........more votes for communism!.....iiiiiiiihaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!.........
@@Kogaion78 the new normal
I love the interviewer. He listens, asks in a respectful manner, doesn’t interrupt, his voice is very calm and his gestures are very gentle!
He is a classy interviewer.
He’s dignified. A splendid gentleman.
easy to do when you are in a prison as a free man.
Old school,from time when being polite was still cool
@@xl000 i don't think it's easy being in the same room with murderers
It’s crazy how a lot of these individuals seem innocent and kind and then you hear the crimes. Looks are deceiving.
What even more weird is that the Baby killer only serving 16 Yrs.
right! don't trust anyone
It's in there weird looking eyes.
They are all so nice behind bars. Post pregnancy issues I had for a while. Very hard. No support. But yet my son is doing well he is now 24. I raised him through it all. If people can't there are agency's that could help. Unlike 24 years ago. 16 years? I think I would let the firebug out first.
i disagree, reality is perception, if they are percived as kind then they are in that moemnt, crimes are done in the moment to, for reasons, does not reflect on decades of life, people aren't doing the crime on repeat 24/7 after all.
I am so touched by how sweetly decorated the baby’s wing is. Obviously the babies didn’t choose to be born in these circumstances, I love the alphabet painted onto the wall and that their needs are well met. It’s not ideal for the baby but I hope that the mothers find purpose caring for their children. I’m sure that helps them stay straight in prison & after they get out of there.
your post is absolutely void of any understanding of right and wrong fran. the mothers made vicious decisions that ignored all levels of respect for others and the sacredness of parenthood. now caught, they just want to be treated like ordinary mothers who "didn't do nothin" to deserve this. do their victims or an intelligent society believe they are remorseful and unlikely to destroy the lives of others if released? sweet decorations and wall paintings show these women are meeting their infants' needs - wake up fran ...
@@iancaldwell3850 These are humans and not wild monsters. They need to truly understand what they did and being sorry about that and the lost freedom is their punishment.
But at the same time they need to be resocialised. They need perspectives for their lives. The us justice system for pure punishment doesnt work: isolation is breaking the peoples minds. Because of the aim for punishment most of the imprisoned people will get back in prison.
On top of that the us has the death sentence which makes them as bad as a murder themselfes.
Abortion is the best option.
I Completely Agreed as Well 😊👶
I know I thought it was cute (In a sad and messed up way but cute nonetheless) that the baby’s had matching outfits w their moms prison clothes
This man is a fantastic interviewer. He's able to ask very hard and serious questions while still being totally respectful.
he didn't seem very compassionate to me at some points

I was thinking the same thing he asks amazing questions

@@ITI-xi5zx सन
I really like this interviewer. He’s not condescending but also asks great questions. He asks the questions in the best way possible.
Yes, he is so dignified. Immediately you see what a gentleman he is. And he clearly has empathy for these women.
Yes I agree!
What’s annoying is that he will hear an answer/statement and then just repeats the same thing back to them.
I love all his documentaries.😍 hes almost soothing to watch
@@SoCaliSurfer13 that’s how you communicate effectively. It lets the speaker know you heard them, correctly.
I really find it humbling that even though these women did horrific things, Trevor still speaks with them with such a level tone. I really enjoy his documentaries.
I guess at the end of the day, they are humans
One thing you have to remember is that an interviewer can't be overly critical or harsh to the people interviewed. Otherwise they would most likely refuse to talk to Trevor or give him the bare minimum as far as personal details go. If they don't talk, there's no show. So Trevor has to speak with them with tact and neutrality. That doesn't mean he has to like or be friends with them.
Sir Trevor McDonald is one of the best journalists and interviewers of our lifetime.
I agree with you!
The woman who smiles and laughs about shooting the guy in the eye and is permanently blind...no words.
She's the real devil😈 No sign of remorse after years...Smh
I believe that is a nervous laughter.
She’s really smiling and it’s shocking even when she said she felt nothing I believe she still feels nothing
Smiling during such an interview generally can also be a sign of understanding, of looking forward and being loving and respectful to the person one is talking to and to the persons surrounding oneself. But if there are no remorse, no regretful feelings and compassion towards the persons one has damaged that severely, trying to see the consequences it has in the life of that persons until the end, feeling and suffering for it very deeply, than something very fundamental is lacking and evilness is still present. On the other side, as harsh and disturbing it may be concerning to what I have stated before, she is being very honest and not lying about the reality of here feelings or lack of thereon.
@@verocimil I never wanted to lie about her feelings, it is her truth but where is the respect for the family and the guy who has to watch her through one eye grinning.
Just imagine your grandma suddenly getting arrested during dinner and she ends up saying “I escaped prison 35 years ago because I killed my second husband” tbh that would be such a legendary moment
Mushroom Kid the new husband would be thankful he didn’t disappoint her as much as the first husband lol.
MansonX the first husband is still alive, he remarried after divorcing his first wife
Mushroom Kid I’m sorry but she would be cool asf forever to me
@@tatyanadennis9926 makes ya wonder if she had plans to kill him too
My grandmother has a story similar
08:58 the guard walking with mom and baby is so sweet. Definitely a dad to daughters or granddaughters at home.
I said the same thing!! He looks at the gorgeous baby with care regardless of her mother being a prisoner! 😍
Cindy’s story is particularly heartbreaking - the system is truly messed up.
she literally killed 6 people including 4 children
Oh knock it off. She is a master of manipulation. She lit 6 kids on fire and then acts so innocent for the camera..she on purpose burnt herself a little bit to sell the story of she "ran in" after she lit it to "get away" She's just lying.
why does she smile everytime she talks about shooting a man in the face, almost a "whoops sorry" moment.. you blinded a man and destroyed his family, i hope they play this interview at your parole hearing..
All of them smile talking about a murder
Her actions explained it all because now instead of 15 out of 30, she has to do 24..
Deborah Hatswell BRITISH BIGFOOT REPORTS yeah I thought that also. Psychotic-like
Antipsychotic drugs. The baby killer is on them too.
I wish they woukd interview the victim. Lets hear his side of it and how he lost his eye because of her.
That lady who killed her infant son- her eyes dont seem “right.” And she kept saying “ I took someone’s life.” Using the word “someone” for your own baby?! She is not “ok” it seems.
Agreed. She's probably medicated for one mental disorder or another. Her detachment from the little someone is telling. No remorse even though she admits to the crime.
none of therm are OK
When she said someone, that got to me too. Sad that her child was just someone.
That part bothered me, too
Yeah I picked up on that too. She has completely removed the fact that she killed HER child from her mind. Absolutely no remorse! And I’m sure she has all her parts and will ave more kids once released. She should’ve definitely been given life.
Sir Trevor is a very charming and compassionate man
Does very respectful interviews
With these interviews, just viewing them is upsetting so I can imagine how Sir Trevor may feel, in fact, he's admitted to these interviews being haunting after all of these years. He's said he would never put himself in this position again, I appreciate his work 🙏🏾 though it was trying to get these interviews done
22:23 "I never went on a date."
Me at 25 who's never been to prison: Same
You have a sense of humor so I love yiu
Me, 22, who's never had one of those two things: Same
Me in 3 years when I'm 25: same
C'mon guys. You can do better. You deserve better. 23 and I have just started using Tinder/Hinge. There is someone out there for you. You just got to get out there.
Don’t worry, I had my first real date around 25 and my first kiss at 28! It will happen eventually ;) it’s ok to be a late bloomer
I love Sir Trevor. What makes me sick is that Cindy will spend the rest of her life in prison for making a horrific choice when she was 16, but the baby killer who laughed throughout her interview, abused her first two children and then shook her 3 month old son until he died, gets to go home. Where is the fairness in that
American justice
No of dead people (six), and the the visual horror of their deaths by fire. Also depends on the prosecutor, judge and quality of lawyer(s).
@@dolphineachonga555 fire lady deserves life. It appeared to me like she wasn't being completely honest in her story
@@CatBrash Regardless once your abused at that age you make irrational decisions at that age which seem rational. If she did have burns trying to save those people then i believe it really was just an accident. Regardless it still really is tbh. Her target was mainly the abuser not the innocent people that had nothing to do with her
I see it the same way. Or have a look at Ronald Sanford on death row. Terrible. He was 13 by the time he comitted the crime. So sad. And there is no justice in the system itself.
My heart goes out to Cindy I pray she gets released.
You're falling for her act. During her original trial and for years there wasn't a peep about abuse, she just magically started claiming it after parole hearings with zero evidence.
@@ironwolf56 I dug around in her case and my position is shes a skilled manipulator that's had decades to finely tune a story that makes her the victim and not the 6 people she murdered. Granted, 16 year olds arent smart but they can be more dangerous than any adult because they have the physical ability to inflict adult damage but they have the faculties and maturity of a teenager. Sorry, I feel bad for her...truly. but I don't believe her.
I think the state would rather Hang her than let her out...Did You ever burn your finger? Think how it would feel to be burned to death while YOU scream for help and NONE is coming???
Think it's strange that she got out , but yet was trying to help the other's and 6 people died. Why was she so lucky ? Maybe if some of the 6 survived her story would make more sense .
I love all of this man's documentaries they are all so open and just really honest direct
Now I know why he was knighted to "sir". His way of interviewing people is just something you don't see a lot of these days. He has respect for others, even though he might not agree with what they have done. He doesn't let his emotions take over. It's great journalism.
The focus of the documentary is to put these women in the best light possible. He didn't let his emotions take over, but don't be fooled that he doesn't understand his job is to NOT say anything that makes them look bad. He did his job of shaping people's opinions, and he's good at it - but that's not journalism, which is reporting facts without any spin. What he's doing is definitely spin.
Sir Trevor McDonald is quite an accomplished fellow !
Check out his Wikipedia page !
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trevor_McDonald
Agreed.
Honestly, his interviewing process is something to be admired, he keeps his calm cool level headed composure throughout everything even when faced with the "worst of the worst"
Trevor deserves his title (Sir). He is an amazing interviewer.
He is a sir. I took a screenshot but I cant show you. Watch the end it says sir!!
It's in the description below the video as well but I think they know that and was just saying that they agree that he should be a "sir"
W......
........ lisa is not soooooooo zdx anymore xx is a
How Dawn is released but White got that long is beyond me. Messed up system ever. 😡
To me he’s up there with David Attenborough and Morgan Freeman. I’m glad I came across his prison documentaries. Very eye opening.
16 years for murdering a 3-month-old? That people like that are walking around us is horrifying.
The people that are behind her getting out after 16 years should all be behind bars, that baby did not get justice.
Maybe someone else will do some justice in jail. Hopefully.
What do you think about women that have abortions is that murder
@@karenj1933 that’s not the way it works in women prisons
Men’s prisons on the other hand 🔪🩸☠️
great interviewer , so undbiased! this woman is crazy! all her smiling and detailing talking . never let her out !
The woman that killed her baby and abused the first two doesn't deserve to ever be released.
Sebastian Bijan I completely agree with you, that was unbelievable.
People like her should have been sterilized, if you abuse your children you shouldn't be able to have more. She said she made a promise to her boy before he was born to keep him safe. All I could think was, age probably made that same promise to her other 2 kids as well.
That would not work because it's about power!!
But still it's so bad for her to go out: she will loose the one hour, monday to friday, ping-pong session. :(
CakeIsMyBoyfriend Forever You're not wrong there
I live in Indiana. I will go visit that woman who has been there since she was 16.
I think that's really nice of you. Can you let us know how it goes?
💖👍
Thank you for that, tell her she's more than a DOC number to us.
I also live in Indiana and I would love to meet her also
Please do and let us know how did it go ... And send regards from a stranger please
You know. It never ceases to amaze me how much of a professional reporter and investigative journast Trevor is. He never openly expresses judgment or opinion and never tries to make connections to wider agendas. He simply presents the reality of the situation, the un distorted facts of the matter to the viewer and leaves it to the individual viewer to form their own opinions and judgements. If every so called "professional journalist" was like him I would actually watch the news and investigative reports. Trevor is what the words Educated and Professional were supposed to reflect. This is accurate and professional reporting and because of that it has immense educational value and is enjoyable to watch.
Sir Trevor McDonald Hello dear man. I follow your amazing programs and really enjoy every second..You are an amazing interviewer, the way you present the questions and in my opinion it is a drop in the ocean compared to what happens in the prisons in America..unfortunately. Kudos to you for the works and content you show me and the whole world. Thank you very much Nisim Dahan Israel
that lady thats smiling while she describes shooting a guy in the face needs to stay in jail forever.
😂
Absolutely - if you can smile while explaining the crime you're guilty of you are heartless. Not to mention it's obvious that she's also remorseless.
yeah , she is extremely nasty .
did you know some people laugh while they were in the midst of 9/11 right next to the towers, watching bodies? and also when interviewed about it they have a very specific thousand yard smile? sometimes it comes from internal bafflement to what they feel it is they are dealing with seeing or talking about, not always enjoyment of pain
@@kissmyacidrocks yeah, i always have to smile when i have to tell someone something sad and i hate it but i think im just so overwhelmed by my emotions that my body doesnt know what to do
So a woman who kills an innocent child. Gets out after 16 years. But a woman who has served 40 years for an accidental fire, will die in prison? Disgusting.
The fire wasn’t accidental and it killed 2 adults and 2 children, I agree with you that it’s horrible but it’s justifiable. Also, regarding the lady who killed her child was sentenced due to “shaken baby syndrome” and there’s about 1000 of those a year, the difference in her case is that she called for help through 911/paramedics which shows that it wasn’t malicious. It’s a lot harder to fight a case of malicious intent when you burned down a house with her whole family in it the way she did.
@@kevinpereira6417 she must of shaken that baby pretty hard to kill it. That's a brutal way to die for a baby. Who cares if she called 911! She should be in prison for life!
@@GoldNava It doesn't take much to given a baby shaken baby syndrome. Their little heads can't take it. You don't have to shake them like a salt shaker all you have to do is hold them up and just jolt them slightly. That lady should be in there for life no parole.
Right agree.
True indeed 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Thank you for sharing ❤
What a lovely man, Sir Trevor McDonald, and such a gracious interviewer.
Anyone whom is interested in pursuing a career in journalism or media please watch how Sir Trevor McDonald operates. He is non judgemental and unimposing as an interview. He remains calm and almost stoic in his responses. He allows the interviewee to reply and only interrupts for the purpose of clarification. He is genuine and sincere in his approach. His skill allows people to open up and be forthcoming willingly.
Amen
Definitely a unique and excellent model
He is a McDonald...... a gentleman....
@deb mohagheghi thats what i believe too deb, this interviewer always makes it seem like the criminals are the victims, i cant stand to listen to him for too long..
Anyone who* stop being pretentious.
Kiana is a monster. She kept smiling while describing her crime. Never let her out
I noticed that as well. She has no remorse
Ya I saw that. It was creepy
finally someone said it
At the rate she’s going, already getting an additional 9 years, she probably won’t ever get out.
A lot of people mask other emotions with humor.
Thank you very informative
It's crazy that they've kept Cindy in, she was a traumatized child, who did a stupid thing (many kids do, even those with stable, happy homes) She deserves freedom now.
I would like to see a WHERE ARE THEY NOW episode
I definitely want to see a where are they now!
I don’t want to see it. Too sad. 😕
They did a third part for the male's facility, it's on Amazon Prime. They haven't done a third part of this as far as I know.
@@raymondlopez5865 what's it call?
@@Godineverything33 "called"
I'm always bummed when these documentaries are over. I could watch for hours.
Amy M Right?! They're so interesting 😲
Amy M I love really good documentaries as well. Have you ever seen "The Bridge"? It's about people who commit suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (I used to live in the Bay Area). It is a fascinating documentary ... maybe because the subject matter itself is so emotional. Anyway, I hope there is another part to this prison doc ..? I didn't know there was a part 2! So this was a nice surprise. Is there a part 3? I hope so! :-)
RunningAmok I have! I can't work so I watch alot of docs at home 🤭 The first part of this one is actually here on yt if you want to watch it! My sister watches loads as well and right now she's got no WiFi so I'm downloading some for her onto a USB drive. Do you have any suggestions?
nicole mcnaughton have you ever seen "TV Junkie"? It's a doc about a guy who works for a tv news show and he documents hours and hours of footage of his private life as he spins down into addiction and how it (life, love, family) falls apart and he just can't _stop_ himself (he's really likable too -- and his wife is this little Southern girl). It's from 2006 and is very well done. Here's a link, because it is not on TH-cam.
www.snagfilms.com/films/title/tv_junkie
Also, "Troublesome Creek," which is about grown children of aging farmers (their parents) and how the family has to auction off their farm to pay off debt (this is around the time of the American "farm crisis"). It's a very good show too, very real and very human (1995). Also _not_ on TH-cam so here's a link to that too:
www.snagfilms.com/films/title/troublesome_creek
Also, if you haven't seen "Dear Zachary," you might want to give that one a try. It's on TH-cam and is about a woman, a younger man, an infant and a double murder. It is a really sad and really tragic show, but very well done.
If you have any documentary suggestions for me, I'd love to hear about 'em! Also, sorry about your inability to work right now. I hope you are okay and just taking a needed rest. :-) Sorry this post is so long!!! Peace.
Amy M am so addicted to them
@Sir Trevor McDonald YOu are truly a Fantabulous interviewer Sir. :) Love all of your interviews. As sad as these prison stories and people are, your production is top of the line well balanced. Praying for these people , all people,
This was AMAZING!!
This is the 2nd one I watched with this interviewer. He is so polite and calm while interviewing. Never a hint of judgement in his voice, which may be why inmates find it so easy to spill their guts and staff so easily explain things. Good going Sir McDonald!!
You are so right, no judgment whatsoever such a gentleman
He is a great interviewer. I like that there is no judgement but asking questions where he generally wants to know what their lives are like.
Seems like a intelligent and caring grandfather
Agree
Me too! I love this guy. I hope he has many more to watch.🙏
So mother who kills her child can leave but women spent 38 years can not? This makes no sense at all.
She killed 6 ppl
Jamie Gearheart and weren't 4 kids ??
That's the US judicial system.
TheVille 043, true dat
Huh
What a wonderful human being Trevor is; compassionate and inquisitive. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed your videos
Hi there? Hope you're good & staying safe?
I personally like the women prison documentaries better than the men simply because you don't have to listen to everyone thinking that the next rap star
Lmfao
Brian Cash lol
word lol
DING DING DING
😂😂😂 u Ave a point there. Only a handful of them from the men's doc will talk about family or so on..others wanna rap or simply talk about their gang in there
I can hardly comprehend how a 16 year-old suffering from constant abuse who involuntarily murdered people would get life in prison. People change. She didn’t mean to do it and after all of these years, keeping her in prison is a waste. She could’ve had a perfectly fine life after a few years incarcerated, but the system is completely unfair and messed up so she’s stuck there while someone who has purposely killed a child is getting out.
Exactly and if we put ourselves in her shoes, we will feel so bad. Like when she was younger, she faced sexual abuse from her own family and when she tried to escape that life, she ended up in prison. She even burnt herself trying to protect those people in the house who abused her. She didn't mean to kill them.It's been so long, she should be released now.
I hope there is someone out there who reads these and will look into helping the girl who’s been locked up since she was 16, because it’s not right!! The baby murderer should be in there for life!!! I swear Indiana has the worst laws!!!
I feel bad as well but under those circumstances they could have given her the death penalty for killing 6 people in a fire gone wrong.
It’s more than likely she’s lying.
All you people who are saying the woman who killed six people should be set free are are demons.
Watching all this makes me realize how precious my life, AND others lives are. The thought of my freedom, my life, decades worth of experiences taken away, is more than frightening.
That's one fine documentary. Well done sir.
Baby killer: "I don't have a lot of family support when I get out..." Gee, I wonder why?!?
Baby boy killer needs to be in the tiny gas chamber.
I completely agree!!
Her child died of natural causes That's why she didn't get life. It happens babies can die of sickness too.
Her husband killed her child.
@@ianchristopheralexander1596 How does her child die of natural causes in one comment, then your next comment says the husband did it?
I'm confused

and always polite - he's a national wonder and we value him.
but neither of u kno his name Lol

Excellent documentary. Makes me value my freedom that much more.

Someone commented
Above with a link to her prison record and it has gone up. Have a look at
The discussion above
She had 30, 15 with good behav. She is out in 2038 at this stage so she lost good behav. Born in 1990 so will be 48, lol what a loser. Bet she thinks shes tough AF. Doesnt realise how pathetic she actually is.
@RileyTheCoolKid Kianna Ball is her name.
She’s a nightmare and a kid on top of everything. Feel sad for whoever will have to deal with her after jail
Sir Trevor McDonald has always been such a gent, and fantastic journalist. I can see why he was knighted.
Omg thank you for posting his name.This is my first time ever seeing him and I wanted to know who he was! Now I’m going to find more to watch of him!
Sadly, sir Trevor has passed away
Very interested video, thank you for sharing.
That was great. Thank you.
only 16, abused and tried to escape, tried to save her victims and now says “I look forward to knowing my life is ending soon”
her entire case broke my heart into a billion tiny pieces
Look on the bright side, at least you’re still breathing.
Her 6 victims, not so lucky.
@@vickirosstudor490 If you killed someone accidentally with your car, do you think you would deserve to rot to death in prison just because that person you didn't want to kill is not alive anymore?
You're commenting here and there and show less empathy for others than her.
A trillion for me
Shueps x Yes. I would deserve it. In her case, she deserves it times 6.
@@vickirosstudor490 If you think that someone that accidentally kills someone deserves the same as someone that chose to murder and torture then you are out of your mind.
Even the justice system has different terms for those situations
I was convicted of killing my first, err second husband. Someone check on that first husband hahaha
Haha
Lol i thought of the same thing hahahahahaha
Hahahahahahaha naw fr tho
Woah i read this comment just at the same time as she said it. That was wierd
My first thought, too! 😆
What a gentleman?! I have nothing but respect for you Sir!
Excellent documentary. I'll be thinking about it for quite a while.
Hi there? Hope you're good & staying safe?
His eloquent way of delivering the English language is rather beautiful. The vocabulary used and tones heard with no prejudice. This man speaks volumes without saying a word.
True
And some hick that can hardly read, states this man is sub species. What a achievement in mental gymnastics.
Because he’s British they always talk like that
@@drummersnare6276 You've never met anyone from Glasgow?
You are absolutely right! Agree with you 100%.
I really like the interviewers style. He is a rarity. He brings out the info by letting them tell their own story.
Indeed he also asks excellent questions in a calm and polite manner, you see all the prisoners feel at ease.
Sir Trevor, you are a very good empathic interviewer. Peace to you.
This prison so clean compared to other documentaries i have watched.
She acts like it's no big deal she permanently blinded and disfigured a man a human bieng how can she smile a sociopath folks right there
Lisa Lentile I mean she’s just smiling away. Unreal
I thought I didn’t see right when she said that. Couldn’t thinkvshed actually smile, holy crap that’s just not caring at all.
I smile sometimes when I do something wrong. Not because I'm happy with it but because I'm ashamed of it. Maybe that's how she copes with what she has done.
@@NickiGomez Me too
It seemed like a nervous smile type of thing, she seems to need to come more to terms with what she did accept it and let it go
"I don't have a lot of family support" says the woman who beat 2 of her kids almost to death then killed the third. That's kind of like a guy who kills his parents asking for mercy because he's an orphan.
And everyone keeps saying "bUT shE HaD PoSt ParTUm dEpreSsiOn!!!11" Please. The majority of people have some form of mental illness or other, it doesn't mean they deserve sympathy for murdering their baby.
Chicagocubbiegirl scary thing is, she still of age to be able to give birth again.
Chicagocubbiegirl she didn’t abuse her first 2 kids as far as we know. Why do you even say that?
Katie Kat it was established in the description of a portion of her life outside of prison that she did indeed lose custody of her first 2 children due to abuse.
Katie P thank you. I must’ve missed when they said it. I thought she had custody because she was happened to be alone with him that day. My mind wonders off a lot so I will take your word for it. Should I edit my comment then or leave it because you answered it?
My heart absolutely goes out to the lady that set the fire. Feeling that was the only way out safely… arghhhh… that hurts me
The interviewer treats them with dignity and respect, that is wonderful.
Hi there? Hope you're good & staying safe?
Its sad to hear that a girl who was abused most of her young life, was shown no compassion and sentenced for murder and not manslaughter.
The woman who shook her baby to death, if she abused her first two children, why was she allowed to keep the third baby. Why weren't social services on her case?
Social services is a load of crap, the system is corrupt and don't actually help people.
Bethany michelle
so true
They failed the baby. 😑
because indianna is republican and prefer to just let it happen let the market do itself, and are more about carceration, now even though where in 2019 and there is more understanding of crime and sentences are less for many good reasons, there still a backwards state
Nicola Rollinson and it’s highly likely they will do it again.
Kiana is sure enjoying her vacation away from kids . Girl is smiling like she did an awesome job
She'll be back after she's released. You can tell she hasn't learned her lesson.
@@eugenecaldwell9619 I don’t think there’s a lesson for her to learn she’s a psycho.
There till 2038, good thing
@@billdoty6438 probably will get even longer with her attitude lol!!
Those girl are a possessed and the evil is the main reason why they are not taking their life on the right direction.
Sir Travor ,Thank you for this video 🙏
The program for the moms and babies is outstanding. What a blessing. I hope these women start over and make good
“Took another person life”... that person was your child wtf smh acknowledge that lady
Exactly what i was thinking to , it was not took a persons life you killed your baby
I know it’s no excuse but postpartum depression needs to be taught more to young women about to have a child. There needs to be more education for expecting family’s.
@@WickedLady2010
My friend is a new dad and his fiance is seriously agitated and agressive, he doesn't know what to do and I suggested that she may have PPD, I hope she doesn't do anything to the child
That Tabby Cat if she does she needs to go see a dr immediately. Women do crazy things when they have PPD. Some women are even told not to have anymore kids when it’s super severe!
@@WickedLady2010
I'll make sure to inform him
It's her second child
Her first one is 16 and lives with father
When I watch these jail/prison documentaries of women, I sit there and think how grateful I am to just be sitting at home in my own bed, watching this on my cell phone, while my daughter is playing on the floor in front of me!!! I am so thankful that I have made the right decisions in my life that has kept me out of trouble!! A lot of women and especially young girls today take everyday things for granted!! But like they say "you never know what you got until its gone"!! If you have a home, food, and the greatest thing to me which is my husband and daughter then you have more than a lot of people do! Stop taking those things for granted because you could be where these women are!!
I don't have children but I was thinking the same thing.
Amen Becky👏🏾
Good choices!
Ur so right! Amen!
Joan Bowden yeah right I was thinking the same thing
I love the music. Very relaxing. Same with his voice.
His voice is so gentle and calming he’s great for ASMR
The whole time he was talking to that lady who killed her baby all i could think was Casey Anthony needs to be there as well. Justice system is a joke.
Exactly
@Under tropix the prosecution team sucked
God bless! Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and died on a cross for our sins so we can live again in Heaven where there is no pain or suffering! God is our Father and Creator and raised His Son Jesus from the dead! Confess and repent of your sins and God will freely forgive you! Trust in God and live for Jesus as He died for you! 💕 (don’t swear or take God’s name in vain!)😌✋
The jury was just full of idiots
She seemed like a total sociopath. I can definitely see her looking at a mirror and practicing her constant eyebrow raises. It’s creepy af.
This interviewer is a gentleman
I love him, he is astonished by their crime
Lee
@@ja2415 Hi 🙂
he is from a different time, they dont produce people llike him unfortunately
@@blablablb1702 These people are still around and are called educated Brits.
You're welcome
I love how respectful he is towards everyone he interviews. Even though these women have done horrendous things, he treats them like humans
Incident around the world, some incidents pouring my eyes with a droplets of tears
I still don’t understand how she says “I felt so guilty for killing someone”.. NOOOOO . Not SOMEONE! Your child. YOU KILLED YOUR CHILD. Wtf and murder is already horrendous but to kill your own baby????? And she just says she killed ‘someone’. No. You killed your baby boy.
It’s happening everyday when women abort it’s killing their baby’s it’s no different 3 months old or before they’re born period!
horsepower2011 uh.. it’s really sad and scary that you’re saying that’s the same thing. I’m some ways they relate yes but in so many more they don’t
Sherika Glasgow tell me how it’s not the same just because you can picture a three month old it’s your flesh and blood whether you abort or kill after the kid is born
horsepower2011 it’s not the same because one actually waited for that baby to take its first breath. It’s not the same because one is actually watching that baby something innocent and completely vulnerable as it removes its life. You can try to belittle women who have abortions all you want and you’re allowed to feel how you do but what I said remains true. They are most DEFINITELY NOT the same.
Sherika Glasgow I’m not belittling women at all there are a lot more men in prison for killing then women. Killing is wrong no matter who does it, and talk about innocent there’s no more innocent then a baby in the womb
One girl answered questions about blinding a man like she was a beauty pageant contestant...big smile, happy nods...gave me chills.
Yes I don't know about the others but I think she shouldn't come out. She explained first that everything got out of control accidently but then speaks about not having any feelings at all after destroying a man's life.
She bothered me too. Likeable, however what she is saying is chilling. She is a psychopath maybe, lucky she's in prison.
You are so Right! That is it, exactly. She is on stage, performing
Exactly. She’s mentally ill.
Exactly then she received an additional 9 yrs
Damn this was good and insightful
Trevor is amazing interviewer. Great man ❤️🙏💯
That woman who was there for 36 years and is never getting out should not have been tried for murder.. manslaughter yes but her goal was not to kill anyone, it was just a very unfortunate accident that she obviously feels gulity for and she even tried to save them when she realised things had gotten out of control. She was being abused and didn't see a way out and she did the best she could to get away. The system has failed her in a horrific way. Especially considering that woman who abused all her kids and straight up murdered her baby son will get released in a couple years. That is just wrong on so many levels. Im not saying she didn't deserve a prison sentence, she killed several people but it wasn't done with the intent of killing them. She did deserve a serious punishment, but not the prison sentence she got.
Yea I watched her episode on DEADLY WOMEN. However I don't understand how being the year she got in and the age, how was her case not appealed? Usually when the judicial system changes or et..cases like hers should have been appealed
There was a way out the front door and leave. No she choose to set fire to a house with 6 people inside. Hopefully the voices screaming of being burned alive haunts her for the rest of her life. I ha e no sympathy for anybody in prison. Why they in there because of what they did and path they took.
@@kryssiewoo51 if you go to trial and loose they can and will throw the book at you.
Life, and courts, were very, very different in 1975. Its like, in 1975, some people were sent to prison for possession of a small amount of marijuana. They sometimes received 10 years for small, personal amounts of pot. Now, if the police even feel like messing with you, smoking pot in public is totally ignored in many states. She might have been charged separately for each death, with 6 life sentences without parole. I am not saying this is what happened to this woman, I am simply stating a possibility.
How do you know she did not intend to kill anyone? Your only evidence is what a woman who admits that she set a deadly fire has said is true. Think rationally. I was 15 that year. I know the times. Some of my friends and neighbors actually left home, got jobs and married at 16. You mean to tell me she could not have left that home? This was no cry for help. You do not set fire to home as a cry for help unless you are insane. More likely she has sociopathic tendencies and lies to manipulate and the parole board saw a ton of inconsistencies. I am familiar with a few with anti-social personality disorder or sociopathy. They are very convincing. When you find out what they have done, and see the proof, you have a hard time believing it. Examine the facts. Be wary of the lies.
Woman who set fire at 16 to free herself gets life and
woman who killed her son gets to leave
Something wrong with this picture
She killed SIX PEOPLE though.
the first one killed 6 people by being a complete idiot and the second one was mentally ill. none of them deserves life sentence
Ocyla she tried to save them though
Ocyla she did try to save them once she realised that the fire was out of hand. thats why she was not put into prison immediately because she had burns all over herself from re-entering the burning building. i say 38 years is enough
At 16 there is no one who can make rational decisions. I believe here in Belgium you can't get a life sentence at that age
Nice job
Thank you Trevor McDonald, i found a series of interesting annd good videos so i can stop scrolling down shorts over and over like a mental patient
Trevor seems so sincere and a real gentleman with zero judgment
Cindy, oh my. Your story broke my heart. 54 years old, incarcerated for 38 years, for a crime committed out of desperation to be free of abuse. ...... I can't ... 😿💔
Nicole Rose / Empathic Soulwriter maybe not the smartest idea watching if your an empath?😇✌🏾
Well that's what she says, we are only hearing the prisoner sides of every story. I'm sure the police report would be completely different oh, and oh yeah she did Kill six people

She killed 4 innocent kids along with two grown ups. No no no, Cindy needs to stay in Jail. No one has the right to take a life, especially not innocent lives of children. .
White, 57, is serving six life sentences in the deaths of Charles and Carole Roberson and their four children. The family perished in a fire set by White, then 18, on New Year's Eve 1975.
Prison movies are the best watch them every day love them can't get enough of them ❤ 😍 ♥ 💕 💙
the interviewer is such a gentlman and professional. he really takes the prisoners experiences to mind.
If you can lose your temper with a 3 month old you shouldn't be around civilians.
Yeah, something is seriously wrong there.
Postpartum depression
The most disturbing thing for me is the fact that she kept saying "I took the life of another person", woman, that not a just a person that was your baby
Speaking as a mom it is very much possible to easily loose your temper around a 3 month old.( Gosh I just realized how false that must come
Across. I meant you can easily get heated and also freak out a little, not physically hurt them for sure!)
You are sleep deprived and you aren't used to the new circumstances. If you have post partum depression it's even worse. Many woman go through that.
I'm not defending her I just try to explain to you what I went through when I had my girl (who is now 2).
She should be locked up forever just for the fact she said ''another person's life'' as if it wasn't her baby who she killed. She doesn't regret anything and thats what makes her such an disgusting human being.
@@rayssunflower_ not many people have the same level of empathy as you and can't even see their own faults. She probably has a mental illness too and is clearly suffering for her crime. People should not have their entire lives judged on the worst decision they have ever made.
The lady who made a man go blind didn’t seem sorry about it. She didn’t even say she is glad he is alive. She is at the right place.
Maybe she’s nervous smiling.
I do this too. But she might just b cold-blooded
They all are.
She deserves to be in prison for life. She’s not remorseful at all.
She seems like a psychopath
BELLA GIRL YOU SPOKE THE TRUTH SHE'S VERY SCARY THE ONE THAT TALKED ABOUT BLINDING THE MAN SHE NEVER SAID NOTHING ABOUT HER BOYFRIEND AND WHAT HE DID BOY OH BOY THESE WEMON ARE SOMETHING ELSE PEACE AND BLESSINGS FAM ✌☮
Wow... see the little babys with the inmates mothers.. make me verry silence and emotional..this programme and the video make impact on my own life.. verry respect full for sir Trevor the way he talk with the womans the question he ask his attitude and the moments off silence are verry impressed .
Sir Trevor: “Thank you for coming out of your cell to talk to us.”
So respectful and beautiful.
