Arias's New Life in Prison:
snip
Jodi Arias' life will now fit in a 7 foot x 12 foot cell, a small room where she will have to stay for 23-hours a day.

Arias' first days will be busy as she is studied by prison staff and undergoes medical, psychological and educational tests.

"They're going to want to see how she reacts to prison life," said former Department of Corrections Communications Director Barrett Marson.

He says her first two years will be pretty cut and dry hard time. She’ll be alone in her cell, even at mealtimes.

When her commissary account is eventually set up she will be allowed to purchase a television with basic cable channels, snacks and she can borrow books from the limited prison library.

Arias is allowed visitors, a list of 20 people she can name at any given time, but they each pay a fee and must pass a background check. She is allowed two hours a week to squeeze in a visit and she will not be allowed physical contact.

Full interview with Prosecutor Martinez. Post sentencing

[aikoaiko]

1. Looks very comfortable.

[misterhighwasted]

2. I'm sure she will find new friends.

Good luck to her.
Rest in peace finally. TA

[yeoman6987]

5. I know. I like the TV thing. I am not saying I'd want to go to jail

But watching tv all day and maybe night sounds ok...maybe.

[misterhighwasted]

18. BUt no cameras, social media, or publicity. No internet or cell phone. She can't tweet.

Everything she does or says is under surveillance.

[yeoman6987]

24. Oh......never mind.

[misterhighwasted]

34. LOL, It wouldn't be for me either. Can't go for a drive or anything fun.

naaa, it would suck.

[misterhighwasted]

19. Only if I could order pizza delivery. Or some days chinese food..

maaaaybe then.

[yeoman6987]

25. Lol. I actually forgot no internet. Food delivery would be awesome.

[misterhighwasted]

27. Sleep, order take out & watch basic cable. I'd need internet & my phone. hmmm

[yeoman6987]

28. Having all that would help me survive

[petronius]

3. "...is allowed visitors ... but they each pay a fee..."

Is that common practice in prisons? I don't like the idea (even if the fee is on the small side)...

[yeoman6987]

6. I don't think she had many friends and family was estranged

May be a moot point for her. The movie portrayed that at least.

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Yes, jails, especially those under private control

and prisons, charge for everything, and at times crazy fees for calls to relatives as well.

[misterhighwasted]

8. Yes. Fees for visits, fees for phone calls. It is the US prison system.

She arrived at Perryville by her own actions, that the for profit prison system exists is another issue.
That there is a fee for the few visits they get, kinda struck me wrong, but in this case I don't really care.
I detest what she did to another human being.
The interview with Juan Martinez does put the whole ordeal in some sensible perspective.

[DarknessFalls]

4. It's so sad. She was soooo pretty!!

[lumberjack_jeff]

9. .

[misterhighwasted]

42. LOL

Oh dear.

[Bonx]

10. pretty crazy

[misterhighwasted]

12. Not really. breast implants, braces & retainer, dyed hair, I guess pretty can be enhanced.

But that cold dark evil stare from her eyes gave her away. Can't change that.

I've said before, perhaps somewhere between Yreka & Phoenix she should have turned the car around & just drove back home.
She was determined to kill him and never along that 1000 mile drive did she have a serious second thought about it, and THAT is very chilling to consider.
I wonder what the psychiatry books would say about this particular part of her journey & that she never considered just "not" going through with it & returning home.
We all carry the emotion of jealousy, but I would like to know what psychiatry says about her particular kind.

She is definitely a case study for many scholars of the human mind.

[Starry Messenger]

16. Pretty what?

Bananas?

[nomorenomore08]

23. Not an unattractive woman, I suppose, but she also has serious psychopathic tendencies.

I sure as hell wouldn't turn my back on her.

[DarknessFalls]

33. Her intensity is attractive.

[misterhighwasted]

39. Ummm Ya Intense..( as I pull my shoulders up to my ears, hiding my neck, kind of Intense.)

yikes!

[nomorenomore08]

41. Are you the male version of all those women who wrote to Ted Bundy?

[misterhighwasted]

44. Oh dang, she has a bunch of followers breathing hard and vowing to serve her hottness.

Morbid death wishing kind of folk, ya know.

[DarknessFalls]

59. I know what I like.

[LanternWaste]

63. many people rationalize irrelevancies as something other than what they are.

"I know what I like..."
Irrelevancies, to be sure.

However, many people rationalize irrelevancies as something other than what they are.

[pnwmom]

11. Alone in her cell even at mealtime? Is she in solitary then? Is this standard? n/t

[misterhighwasted]

14. I think it is standard for her particular kind of murder. As Judge stevens addressed in the sentenc

Particular as in extreme cruelty, two types of weapons, premeditation, cover up etc. The 'level' of incarcerated offender that she is registered as, because of how & what she did, determines the way she will begin her sentence.
She is stripped of all privileges but basic needs, and can earn back some freedom within the prison system gradually & over a time.

That is the point to incarceration. Taking away of basic freedom & gradually getting some back dependent on cooperative behavior & conforming.
And that type of prison treatment can be enhanced or certainly abused by the system itself, but that is another conversation all together.

[Luminous Animal]

29. Yep. She is sentenced to torture. USA USA USA!!!

[misterhighwasted]

46. As ye torture, so shall ye be tortured

Just sayin

[Luminous Animal]

50. And now, you are the torturer because the state is doing it in your name...

So, when will you volunteer to be tortured… because, you know, "As ye torture, so shall ye be tortured."

Just sayin'.

[misterhighwasted]

54. OOOOkaaay. That makes no sense.

I am staying out of this conversation with you.
Its late & that is just weird.
Nite.

[LanternWaste]

64. Many people indeed, confuse justice with revenge.

Many people indeed, confuse justice with revenge. Reading books helps... just sayin', part deux.

[misterhighwasted]

65. No revenge would have been the Death Row. This was Justice.

I'm not torturing anyone.
My karma is fine.
Not so for you calling me a torturer. Just sayin

[Texasgal]

13. Where are the Tsarnaev

defenders? You know, the ones that said isolation was torture?

Hello, where are you now?

[misterhighwasted]

15. Yup. Isolation is torture, but torturing another human being is the reason for prison isolation.

Some call it Karma.

[Texasgal]

20. Hey,I am just waiting for a full page

discussion about how isolation is torture.

Tsarnaev supporters, come on out. Oh wait? She's a woman right?

[brooklynite]

26. And she's white...and American

[Luminous Animal]

32. I'm pretty sure you won't answer but really, do you honestly believe that

people who reject torture are Tsarnaev supporters?

[Texasgal]

37. I'm just asking

What's the difference? Oh, and I am just curious. I never ever accused anyone of being a Tsarnaev supporter.

We got a full page narrative on how isolation is torture. Just curious as to the difference between the two.

[Luminous Animal]

47. Okay. I still don't get your post. But, from my point of view, they are both torture.

[cwydro]

58. I know.

I was wondering where the Tsarnaev groupies were too.

[Luminous Animal]

30. And how's your karma doing knowing that you support torture.

It might come back to bite you.

[nomorenomore08]

35. I don't believe in permanent isolation. Only temporary, as a mutual safety measure.

I'm inclined to agree with the UN's contention that years on end in solitary is a form of torture.

[misterhighwasted]

49. And I agree with you there. And Arias will be with her own kind soon enough.

[treestar]

56. There is one

look above.

She can have visitors, too. 7 by 12 is small, but not so small as to be torture.

[Vattel]

17. Our prison system makes me vomit.

[misterhighwasted]

21. How Arias slaughtered TA made many vomit. She is just cold, evil & effin dangerous kind of sick.

But I do not disagree with your disgust with the for profit prison system.
Everyone is a commodity, a consumer, Too many sociopaths in positions of power.

[Vattel]

22. If the prosecution's story is true, then I share your reaction.

[Sissyk]

36. The Prosecution's story was true.

I followed this trial from the first opening statement in 2012(I think, damn long time). There was more direct evidence than I've ever seen in a previous trial. More circumstantial evidence on top of blood evidence, prints, feet, blood trails, etc. Here testimony alone, and the way the Prosecution tore it apart, was enough by itself.

She told three different stories over the years, only stating she fired a gun at him first (before stabbing him 29 times and slitting his throat) after the Lead Detective made a statement that he thought the gunshot was first. The ME stated it was last.

I wasn't for the Death Penalty (which she had the penalty phase of the trial twice since the first jury couldn't agree on life or death) but I think she should be locked up for the rest of her life for the publics safety, and her own.

Now, that's probably more than you every wanted to know! lol!

[Vattel]

52. You clearly know a lot more about it than I do.

I didn't follow the trial much although I did delve into the ME's testimony because it seemed very questionable. I doubt that the alleged "typo" in the report was really a typo.

[Sissyk]

60. Are you talking about the

"slicing of the brain" misunderstanding between Dr. Horn and Jennifer Wilmont?

That's all I can think of at the moment. It's been awhile since all this happened. Apparantly, justice is very very slow in Arizona.

[Vattel]

61. No, I am talking about the alleged perforation in the . . . dang what is it called?

The ME report said that the covering (for lack of a better word) around the brain was not pierced, but the ME said that this was just a typo.

[Skittles]

31. making people pay a fee to visit someone in prison?

WTF

[Ptah]

38. Doesn't make sense to me.

The only fee I had to pay to visit a family member in Arizona State Prison was
the $25 cost of a background check.

[Skittles]

43. even that sounds like bullshit to me

[Ptah]

45. It is bullshit.

Relatively new, five years ago, it didn't cost me anything to be put on his visitor list.

[Skittles]

55. making money off of misery - how Christian

seriously f***ed up

[NaturalHigh]

40. A little messed up maybe...

but then again, unlike Travis Alexander, she can have visitors.

[misterhighwasted]

51. Yup. That is precisely how I see it in the end. She gets to breath.

Reality is hitting her hard about now.
No publicity, no tweets, no attention, and that is how it will be for a very long time.
This is your life JA.

[treestar]

57. Plain wrong

and poor people are as likely or more to be in prison.

[Skittles]

62. it is inhumane

and certainly it is just another way of kicking people when they're down

[NaturalHigh]

48. It's sad that she chose to take a life in such a horrible way...

and throw away her own life in the process.

[misterhighwasted]

53. True. Its pretty unbelievable to see the pics of TA's sliced up body and try to accept

anyone actually doing such a horrific thing.

Pretty heartbreaking.
