I Had My Baby Chained Up In Prison | MY EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY
SUBSCRIBE to Truly: bit.ly/Oc61Hj
JENNIFER gave birth to her son in jail. She was handcuffed to the bed for periods of time during labour and after giving birth. The 40-year-old told truly: “The week I found out I was pregnant, I actually went to jail and I spent my entire pregnancy incarcerated.” She explained that giving birth was one of the hardest things she’s done and that she had a ‘meltdown’ when it was time for her to return to jail. Jennifer said: “I was crying, I was screaming, I was kicking because it felt so wrong and so bad and there’s nothing I could do - I’m there because of my mistakes.” She was sentenced to 10 years in prison for a number of theft-related convictions and her son, Dominic, was raised by his dad - Kyle. The father and son came to visit Jennifer in prison every week. Jennifer was released in 2020 and is extremely proud of Dominic, now 11 years old. People question her abilities as a mother and judge her for her past but Jennifer is determined for her family to stay happy. She said: “My story is just one of encouragement, hope and knowing that that is where I was and this is where I am now.”

What do you think of Jennifer's experience having a baby in prison?
Nice Video 💓💓💓💓
That is so sad and heartbreaking poor thing 😢
@@laurenschenck5355poor thing?😂
you play you pay
This is sad but inspiring she’s out of prison she enjoying her life with her son husband the dad did a good job raising him why she was in prison? And everyone deserves a second chance ❤
She’s actually very blessed. Dominic was a lifeline raising their son while she was incarcerated
Love it, she has an incredible story, I’m the father and what she has done to turn her life around is nothing but amazing. Love you Jen Jen keep moving forward.
How about the people she hurt. Are we not going to speak about that? Or the trauma her son will always have.
@nbc3132 You can’t change the past though so why constantly dwell on it? Wouldn’t you rather someone learn from it and improve their life and try to make up for it?
@@NBC09 i understand why you are going down that path but she did her time. She hasn't gone back to that lifestyle even though Im sure everyday there's temptations.. She chooses to grow as a person, women and mother. She has obviously made bad choices but now is making better ones that she and her son be proud of. There's no need for these negative comments when shes trying to do better. If she was stepping out on parole or telling people how to get away with it and giving them a blueprint fine but she isn't. There is so much negative energy on people please dont be another negative commenter.❤ ❤
Cruel and unusual punishment, stressing the mum out is going to effect her innocent baby. Do they think a heavily pregnant woman’s gonna kung fu her way out of jail? 🙄
Thank you to ALL Truly supporters for the encouragement & support!! You are all awesome ❤️🙏🏼
Tree is your homegirl?!! Love both of y’all! 💕 Xo
Hello Jen 👋🏿 🫂 ❤
I hope that you’re proud of yourself for turning your life around, because I am and you deserve to be! As a prison reform advocate, I think it’s so wrong and unfair that people continue to judge you for your past mistakes even though you’ve clearly learned from them and became a good mom and positively contribute to society! Once a person has done their time, their crimes shouldn’t be held over their heads for the rest of their lives. Sadly, our system is broken, and Americans tend to believe that people can’t change and they should be punished forever. I adamantly disagree. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I wish you and your family all the happiness and success this world has to offer! God bless you and your beautiful family!
The way they treated you was disgraceful. I hope you’re doing well
So proud of this mom for changing her life around and for the dad doing an amazing job raising their son & making sure their son has his mom in his life. Such a great story.
Stop praising the minimum of serving time
Very very good.
Thank god the baby father and family were present to take the baby.
Fair play to her for changing her life around.
I am so proud of you!! Yes people can change for the better!
True.
Right, im appalled at some of the comments, she did her time. The story is about her being a mother after the fact. I wonder what social media is doing to the world when it allows people to live high and mighty in their glass houses. Are we humans or is everyone morally and ethically living righteous lives ? Geesh ?
What an inspiring story! My house was broken into a few times during my life, both when I was home, and when I wasn't... I know how violated I felt, how I'd sleep on the couch for weeks, too fearful to have a good night's sleep... Even if Jennifer had been one of them, I'd only be proud of how she has turned around her life! We ALL make mistakes when we're young! How many teenagers drive intoxicated? How many pregnancies are started before we're ready to be parents...? Kyle is a great Dad! And Dominic a lucky boy to grow up in such a nice family structure! Thanks for sharing your journey here... ❤ ❤ ❤
I can’t believe people really take the time out and write judgmental comments when she probably doing better than the person writing the post. So what she went to prison we all make mistakes in life. It’s not what you been through it’s how you get through it and the decisions you make after you get through it. Nobody is perfect you might can learn a thing or two from the person you are judging @jenjengomez keep doing your thang ❤
She seems to have turned her life around and that's what counts! Well, that and her love for her son, which she has!
What about the people's houses she broke into bruh
@Diamondr11Blue WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT SHE WAS DOING.
Yall wishing her well she aint the victim 😂 what bout the ppl she did crimes to
The whole point of prison is for people to be punished. She did her time and gave birth and had to be immediately separated from her newborn. Isn’t that enough? Just because someone did bad things in the past doesn’t mean they should be condemned for life. She didn’t murder anyone. I’m sure the people she robbed would be happy that she turned her life around.
@@o_0malik you're so right n i think @Diamondr11Blue just need some attention cause they responded to every comment just about n had negative things to say about what she did, let her move on with her n her son's life she paid for her crimes, you just can't make some people happy, smh.
@@o_0malikare you serious??
You are missing the entire point of this story. Your comment is not needed.
@@sarahanngreenwell no its not. Crimes are still crimes. What if they stole valuables or ashes ?
Awww he's so adorable 🥰🥰
My house was broken into last week. He tried to go through both the front door and back. He then climbed through my sons window. I went full mum mode on them, my sons have slept in the same bed every night since as they are to scared to be apart. This is traumatizing. I am very glad she got her life together and is making up for her mistakes i hope others can do the same. ❤
Congratulations i love it your going to help a lot of ppl
I'm so happy for Jen! What a strong woman!!! And what a great Dad Kyle is. I mean, wow!!!!! What man would bring his child to see his mother, who is incarcerated CONSISTENTLY so that they could have a relationship?! Brovo 👏👏👏👏
Is the jail lover in the picture now 😂
THIS was inspiring, not all those plactic people.
Look at Christina Randall. Although she didn’t have a baby in prison, she was released, turned her life around. And she is doing really good. But what I want to know is why did she steal from people? If you have ever had someone steal from you or your home broken into, then you know the violated feeling. Not only being violated but your home is supposed to be our safe zone. That can mess with a persons mind for the rest of our lives . Its hard to feel safe again. For her victims, I pray they are all doing ok & living beautiful lives. Her son is so adorable!!!💜
Much prayers to this woman
Why
That is so horrible poor thing and sad and heartbreaking and so proud of her she is amazing incredible mom and strong strength unbelievable women mom wife ❤
What
This happens all the time in our jails/prisons.
Anyone else got really confused by the title at first? 😭
You're gonna always have people judging you cause of what you did cause there's a lot of miserable people on social media so don't worry or take in anything negative that people are going to say about you, you paid your dues n did your time for your crimes n i'm glad you went on with your life n not let anyone get to you, i wish you n your son all the Goodness that life throws at y'all n his father n your friend ✝️ 💯🥰😍
She broke into houses bruh 😂
What a horrible experience i honestly couldn't imagine 😢youve did wrong admitted it and learnt from your mistakes. Turning your whole life around and doing your best its brave💪wish you and your family the best ❤❤❤xxxx
IT'S HONESTLY
@@juliejoseph7172 and? Your point is? Must have a sad life if your busy correcting my comment ?🙄🙄
Wow,she may have deserved some time locked up,but damn,to be chained and shackled while giving birth? I thought this was America during the 21st century!
She does not look your average criminal.
I'm sorry, but she made it seem like she went to jail for no reason. You did the crime and did the time. I'm glad she changed her life around, but don't play victim here. Btw, she and that woman are in a relationship, I'm sure.
So.... what was she in prison for in the first place to be chained upto a bed???...
No one is perfect. He without sin throw the first stone. Look in the mirror before you judge someone else and remember, if you live in a glass house, don’t throw stones
I love how this channel deletes comments from people like me for pointing out she did it to herself 😂
She did time because she was committing crimes by burglarizing other people's homes? Ok and the sob story is? She was beyond blessed because most babies end up as wards of the state.
Don't judge someone's story on something you have never gone through.
@@sarahanngreenwell You're a fool too! Gutter snipe!!
@@sarahanngreenwell oh whatever. Your point would be possible if there hadn't been crime involved 🤦♂️
@@sarahanngreenwell no she was committing crimes that have real life consequences. It’d been different if she was wrongly accused and convicted.
They cuffed her while she was in labour, that’s cruel and unusual punishment
She stole and hurt people are we not going to speak about that. Nor the trauma she cause on her son! She’s making seems like she’s the victim 😅
💯💯💯💯💯
Is Kyle half white?
First comment (?)
Ooops! Thts a really challenging drown...!! For how should be carried away on easiest...??.. Way to overcame birth roles by the way!! I may wishesful your mother previlage path too strg healing lessons..
Jojo reference
What a Loser. Maybe she should not have committed crimes! Now she's crying because her behavior had consequences.
Have some respect
@@igurpreetsingh grow a pair
Like she had respect for the people she terrorised to go to prison in first place.@@igurpreetsingh
