And it just was like the wave 130 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 3: that shook us all because it's not who we. 131 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: Know you to be. 132 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 3: Right, So tell me, you know, we've we had the 133 00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: ability here to like ask questions. 134 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: I know that most everybody thinks and wants to know. 135 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 3: Which is You have worked hard, You've grinded it out, 136 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: You've created opportunity where there's no opportunity. You have brought 137 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 3: your family along, you have showed us the inside of 138 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 3: your home, inside of your world, inside of your heart, 139 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 3: and then suddenly it all feels like it's crumbling. What 140 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 3: does that feel like as a human, not a character, 141 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 3: but just as a dad and as a mom. What 142 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: is going through your head in those moments? 143 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 6: You know? 144 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 4: I think that for me it was very hard from. 145 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 6: The perspective of how quickly people try to change the 146 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 6: narrative of. 147 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 4: Who you are. 148 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 6: And if it's a slow press day, we need to 149 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 6: sensationalize the situation, and no one knew our truth. You know, 150 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 6: we've been going through this since twenty twelve, when we 151 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 6: found out that our business partner had embezzled six million 152 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 6: dollars from us. 153 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 4: So we didn't put that out there in the press. 154 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 6: You know, we tried to handle that privately and then 155 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 6: it just every it just seemed like the more you 156 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 6: peel back the onion, the worse it got. 157 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 7: And we didn't talk about it on Christlino's Best. That 158 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 7: was not something that was as the network was interested in. 159 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 7: Our show kind of took a life of a comedy 160 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 7: and that's that's the narrative that they wanted us to 161 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 7: stay in. I mean, that's where they wanted us to be. 162 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 7: So it's it is something that we have been dealing 163 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 7: with since literally well well wow, before we ever started filming. 164 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 6: And you know what a lot of people don't know 165 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 6: is that Julie was diagnosed with breast cancer in twenty twelve. 166 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 6: My dad I lost him in July twenty twelve. And 167 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 6: then we find out in the midst of all of 168 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 6: this that my business partner had embezzled all this money. 169 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 4: He had forged our name to I think. 170 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 6: The I think the number was up to like twenty 171 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 6: eight thousand signatures that he had signed mine in Julie's 172 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 6: name to. And I wanted to talk about it on 173 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 6: the show of Christino's Best because I wanted the world 174 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 6: to go along with this, to understand what was happening 175 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 6: to us. But we couldn't talk about so we had 176 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 6: to keep that inside of us. Every day filming a show, 177 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 6: and you know, we did twenty six episodes a season, 178 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 6: so Jana knows how long that takes to shoot that 179 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 6: many episodes, and we were forty eight weeks out of 180 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 6: the year that we were filming. 181 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 4: So trying to hold your family. 182 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 6: Together and to explain to the kids at night over dinner, 183 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 6: you know, Dad, what's going on now? 184 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 4: What are they saying? Now? Are we going to get 185 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 4: the money back? Are we're going to is this going 186 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 4: to happen? 187 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 6: And you start you start coming apart on the inside 188 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 6: because you don't want to answer these questions to your 189 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 6: children because they should never be in a situation to 190 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 6: where as a father, you should. 191 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 4: Have to answer this kind of stuff. 192 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 6: Because the Bible is very clear that the man is 193 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 6: to be the leader of his household. And I had 194 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 6: felt like I had always done that, But I also 195 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 6: now look back on it and realize that I probably 196 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 6: that I know I could have done much better by 197 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 6: trusting fewer people, And so I look at it now 198 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 6: and I think that it's exactly the way that God 199 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 6: intended for it to unfold. We are certainly a stronger 200 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 6: family from our foundation than we've ever been. And as 201 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 6: a parent, your biggest fear is dying before your children 202 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 6: are on solid ground, because you want to know that 203 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 6: before you leave this earth, that your children will survive 204 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 6: and thrive and go forward. We now know that our 205 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 6: children can do that because they had a burial twenty 206 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 6: eight months. 207 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 4: You know, we were gone for twenty eight months. 208 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 6: So I know that my children can survive and thrive now. 209 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 6: You know, they've had some tough lessons. They've had to 210 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 6: work through some things, but they're my children, and I 211 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 6: love them and I'm proud of them. And at the 212 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 6: end of the day, I just feel like that we 213 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 6: are better people for what we've gone through. 214 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: I would agree, and I think it's a test to 215 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 3: to what you all have created as far as a 216 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 3: family dynamic. You know, I grew up in a very 217 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 3: tumultuous upbringing, not the solid foundation, no biblical ground, and 218 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 3: so for me, I'm a cycle breaker. And so one 219 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 3: of the things I've always admired about y'all and even 220 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 3: just my interactions with Savannah, has been just the deep 221 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 3: knowing and sturdiness that it seems like the family has. 222 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 3: And for you know, two heads of the family to 223 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 3: essentially disappear, and we know that's not completely true. We 224 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 3: have more questions about prison, unfortunately, but for y'all to 225 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 3: go off the grid for two years and to have 226 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 3: Savannah step in the way she did is really profound 227 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 3: and also a testament to the way y'all parented and 228 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 3: in the foundation that you made. 229 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 4: You know, we've been. 230 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 6: We've been asked several times and my response will always 231 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 6: remain the sign. What a blessing that you can say 232 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 6: that my daughter was this strong and my daughter walked 233 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 6: in her faith, that my daughter stood her ground, that 234 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 6: she stood for what she believed in. And when you 235 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 6: look at that these twenty eight months, as hard as 236 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 6: they were to be away from each other, that was 237 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 6: the hard part for me because Julie and I had 238 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 6: never been away from each other one time in thirty years. 239 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 6: Our children never went to bed at night without us 240 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 6: in that hoiuse and they never woke up without us 241 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 6: in that house. So that was that was the thing 242 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 6: that was the hardest. And the prosecutor in our case, 243 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 6: I remember him saying, if we can take Todd out, 244 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 6: the rest of the. 245 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 4: Family will fall. 246 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: Wow. 247 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 6: That was his statement, Tommy crap. I want to give 248 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 6: him credit for that because he's a piece of shit, 249 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 6: but he's made the statement if we take Todd out. 250 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 6: You remember that, if we take Todd out, the whole 251 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 6: family will crumble. 252 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: It's like Domino's say, they had a target the entire time. 253 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 6: Listen, I mean the Inspector General's report just came out 254 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 6: a year ago now, and the Inspector General states in 255 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 6: their report that Todd and Julie Christley were targeted due 256 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 6: to their celebrity status. So and that came out under 257 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 6: the Biden administration when that. 258 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 4: Report was released. 259 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 6: So you can't sit here and say, oh, well, Trump's 260 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 6: covering for them again. It came out under the Biden 261 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 6: administration that that report was released. You know, we the 262 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 6: two prosecutors have now been are no longer with They're 263 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 6: no longer prosecutors they have been removed. One of them 264 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 6: works for Meta. Now you go to law school your 265 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 6: whole life to be a prosecutor and you're pushing papers 266 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 6: at Meta. That's karma for you. And then you've got 267 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 6: the other one, little tiny Tommy Krapp, who had a whiff. 268 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 6: You know, he's pushing papers at the FD. I say, 269 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 6: don't kick me. I'm gonna say what I want to say. 270 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 4: I love you. 271 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 3: I can tell by Julieu's jaw tightening that there was 272 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 3: a feeling that's okay, we all married. 273 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 4: Kind But as you can tell, I still have some bitterness. 274 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: Fair enough. 275 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: But they took away time from your family. Of course 276 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: you're going to have some bitternesses that. You know what 277 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: I mean, Like if you stole my time from my 278 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: kids and my family and moments that I missed, I'm 279 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: going to have a chip on my shoulder for a 280 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: minute because I had to miss some beautiful moments. 281 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 4: That's exactly yes. 282 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 6: And you know, at the end of the day, those 283 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 6: twenty eight months were hard because we were separated. But 284 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 6: what God did within me and those twenty eight months 285 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 6: is unlike anything that I will ever be able to explain. 286 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 6: I can only tell you that I know that I 287 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 6: knew who my Lord and Savior was before I left. 288 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 4: I now have an intimate relationship with him. 289 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: Was it because of the quiet moments it was in 290 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: the solidary, like the seclusion away from your people, Yes, 291 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: I think it was that. 292 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 5: I think it was you had to relinquish control. 293 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 7: Yes, there was a lot of control that had to 294 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 7: be relinquished because at the for me, I did not 295 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 7: have a cell phone, so I had. 296 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: Why did you have different? Because it sounds like you 297 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: guys lived two very different prison experiences. 298 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 4: We did. We had the same roles. Juda just chose 299 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 4: to follow them and I did them. 300 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: Well, just how did you not get in trouble? Then 301 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: it's like, if you're not a lot of phone, how 302 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: did you get a phone? 303 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 2: Is this where you want to stop hitting record? Because 304 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 2: I know it's. 305 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 4: Not because I've already talked about it. 306 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 6: I've talked about it on the Juju Chain and with 307 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 6: Laura Trump and everyone else. You're not supposed to have 308 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 6: a cell phone. But I paid better than the BOP did, 309 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 6: so the staff members that worked there, they would take 310 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 6: my money and bring me what I wanted. 311 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 7: So now just that was that is like and that's 312 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 7: one of the big differences between men and women and 313 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 7: prison for men and women. 314 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 5: It's just how it is in a men's prison. It's 315 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 5: not that. 316 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 4: Men don't talk like women did. 317 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 5: It's not that way in a women's prison. 318 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: So women's prison is what just like, well, it's just. 319 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 6: Real life, real life, like gossiping and caddy and trying 320 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 6: to tear another woman down. 321 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 5: Exactly. 322 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 7: Nobody could have had a phone because somebody would have 323 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 7: gotten upset that they had. 324 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 5: They didn't have it, you had it, and. 325 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 7: They would have told like I would have never even 326 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 7: dreamt of trying to. 327 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 5: Could I have gotten a phone in there. I'm sure 328 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 5: I could have gotten. 329 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 7: One in there, but I never dreamt of doing it 330 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 7: for that very reason, because just women are just messy, 331 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 7: you know, and they're just caddy. Whereas the men, you know, 332 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 7: they stick together and they you know, they support each other. 333 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 7: You know, if there's something that's not right in the prison, 334 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 7: the men will all band together, you know, if the 335 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 7: food's not right or the water's not right or whatever 336 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 7: it is. Whereas the women, they just. 337 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 5: Don't do it. It's it's it's really crazy. 338 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 4: But you know, when I was at a a I 339 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 4: was at a. 340 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 6: Decommissioned Air Force base in Pensacola, Florida, so it ran. 341 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 6: Remember so that's that's military barracks.

And that's what they did and they're making nothing. 382 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 6: But when you go, when you're in there, everyone has 383 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 6: like a side hustle that they're dead with And I 384 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 6: didn't need a side hustle, and so, and I told 385 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 6: them up front. 386 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 4: They said, well, we need to assign you a job. 387 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 6: And I said no, no, no, no, I said I'm here 388 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 6: to do time, not choers. I'm not doing I'm not 389 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 6: working for you, And so I refused to do that. 390 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 2: Julie's just shaking her head the whole time. I Meanwhile, 391 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: Julie's mopping like. 392 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 7: The day I got there, literally the day I got 393 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 7: there until the day I left our work. 394 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, they didn't get shack get out of me. 395 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 6: But I rearranged my room, made it organized, and put 396 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 6: the locker the way they were supposed to be. And 397 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 6: then God kept sending all these younger kids that was 398 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 6: coming in there. They would always send them to me, 399 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 6: and that was the thing that I missed the most, 400 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 6: parenting my children. So I say that God loaned me 401 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 6: those someone else's kids so that I could snap them 402 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 6: into shape. And I remember them and Julia's talk to 403 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 6: all of them because I've gotten them all home except one, 404 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 6: and they would tell her that said miss Julie. 405 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 4: He made me shave my beard. 406 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 6: He told me that I was taking these tattoos off 407 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 6: when I got out. He made us make our bed 408 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,959 Speaker 6: every morning at seven o'clock. I mean, he was running 409 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 6: the place. And you know, but I did not have 410 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 6: one negative experience with another inmate. Now, the staff if 411 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 6: I saw them mistreating someone, because they would do that. 412 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 6: They were very abusive to these men. And when I 413 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 6: say abusive, ninety percent of it was verbal. I'd say, 414 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 6: I would walk up and I would see it. And 415 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 6: they said, Chrisly, this doesn't involve you. I said, yeah, 416 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 6: but it involved me. 417 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 4: I said. When I was able to hear what you said, I. 418 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 6: Said, so, I just want to stand close enough so 419 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 6: that I get it right when I repeat it to 420 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 6: my daughter.
