Gypsy Rose Blanchard

feel the pain and the loss of okay i'm never gonna see her again i'm never gonna be able to have this closure moment to ask her well you know why this why that would she forgive me um there's no closure on either side

Because I was offered a plea deal.

So the prosecutor felt like there was enough mitigating evidence to offer me a plea deal to 10 years in the Department of Corrections.

Take it or leave it.

So I took it.

No.

I feel like if I would have spent the rest of my life in prison, that would have been fair for the crime that was committed.

Yes.

Okay.

I don't feel like he should be free.

But I do feel like he does need a lot of mental health therapy that needs to be done with him.

And prison does not rehabilitate you to the best of their ability in the mental health space.

They just don't.

But yeah, if that would have been the outcome, that would have been fair for the crime that was committed.

now do i also understand where the prosecution was coming from by offering me mercy i do okay so i'm appreciative for the second chance that i've been given but i understand where people are coming from with feeling like the sentence didn't match the crime

Not to the degree that it was.

You hear little bits from other inmates and what their families tell them, but there is not a lot

Especially in jail.

You're not even allowed to read your own articles.

If they make a story and you're in it, they take it out.
