Currie says she never imagined she’d one day be a new mom living behind bars. “I lost my way,” she says, explaining the decisions she made when she was 19: dropping out of cosmetology school in her hometown of Berne, Ind.; abusing pharmaceutical drugs; and getting involved with a guy who manufactured meth. She joined him in manufacturing, using, and selling it. “Everything started falling apart by the time I turned 20,” Currie says. “I was using more, I quit my job, stopped paying my bills, and, when I started manufacturing meth when I was 21, I was spending every waking minute trying to get high.”
She was arrested right before she turned 22, charged with two counts of meth manufacturing and possession and sentenced to six years in prison. For 30 days, she sat in a county jail cell until her family posted bond. Then, during her 60-day release, she got pregnant. “This wasn’t something I planned,” she says. “I always wanted to be a mom, but this was very bad timing.”
While she finishes out her sentence, Currie spends her days with her son, goes to substance-abuse counseling, and takes classes in business technology. And she’s as protective as any new mother. “The first time I went to school, I was very upset to leave Jayden with one of the nannies, even though I was right across the yard,” she says.
But her good grades have led to a reduced sentence, and now Currie expects to be released by October. “I’ve come a long way since I walked in a little over two years ago,” she says. “I’m stronger than I ever was before.”
“There are 38 women on our unit, and he has attention from them continuously.”
Yup. She needs to have her tubes tied before they let her out, IMO
This will be the inspiration for a new TV series:
Breaking Stupid.
Any reports of shower fights?
***she got pregnant. “This wasn’t something I planned***’
Generally speaking, it does require some level participation on your part dearie.
“Her child is probably a lot better off living in prison with his drug-free mother than living outside prison with his drug-using mother. “
A vast understatement.
Why, you don't think she can turn her life around? Nice thought........
Where Da Baby Daddy At ?
Good Lord! What did the kid do to be imprisoned???
Cue Frankie Valli: “dum dum dum...Beauty-school dropout...”
