Joyce Mitchell Is Sentenced

Puzzle Piece — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 17:10:46 GMT

Joyce received 2 - 7 years of incarceration. After all the expense in trying to capture her lover, I would have thought she would have received more time.

Don't people get more than that still for being caught using drugs?

It used to be up to 10 years for a joint.

She will know how to work herself into a good prison job.

I doubt she'll serve more than two years. JMO.

Long enough for the tax payers to foot her bill.....once out of prison and on her own, her life will be a mess and no one will feed her anymore. That will be her true punishment.

Can't believe her husband is standing behind her - oh well - she's gotta pay for what she did!

When you consider what could have happened to her if she would have actually met up at the meeting place (probably they would have killed her because they wouldn't want to have someone hold them back), I guess 7 years ain't bad!

What a sad turn her life took.

I really hope she gets her life in order and some help while she is in prison.

This woman got off easy. Perhaps she can be the inmate that works in the prision sewing the uniforms since she taught the inmates how to sew. LOL

I watched the Dateline special on her and I don't believe a word she says that she was not 'intimate" with either prisoner. Her story doesn't add up. I believe the surviving inmate that escaped that she planned that Matt would kill her husband.

I think she had a really good paying job there, she was just foolish in so many ways.

The sentence, two to seven years, isn't long enough. Certainly not long enough to dissuade the next Joyce Mitchell from attempting a similar stunt - the reward may outweigh the risk. Taxpayers will foot the bill, of course.

Not understanding the comments about tax payers footing the bill.

We always foot the bill for people going to prison.

I remember some movements to have the wealthy pay their own prison cost, but I don't know if that ever happened.

The sentence is light considering she could be out in 2 years.

Regardless...She has ruined her life

Not a bad idea! Unfortunately, the majority of people in prison wouldn't have the funding to do that. But that's a whole other soapbox you don't want me on........

@NoelSeven Guess they removed your post. But you get what I was saying when I was trying to respond to you.

Why bother giving her any time at all? It was soft slap on the wrist. I assume with good behavior, she'll be out in 7 or 8 months. Can you imagine what would have happened if a male guard helped inmates escape; he'd get a 20 year prison sentence.
