Jodi Arias’s Rose Colored Glasses

Convicted murders in Arizona face a challenge like no other prison in the United States. They face the ultimate test of survival and try to stay alive for the term sentenced or awaiting the execution date for the death warrant to be served when put on death row. Arias showed no level of rational or logical understanding of our prisons system when she addressed the jury on Tuesday. She was totally in another world that showed a dramatic disconnected viewpoint or expectation between reality and prison worlds.

She will experience one or the other but they are in actuality the same in this darkened environment where the public has no idea what goes on. She will never see “programs I can start and people that I can help and programs that I can participate in."

Her destiny after the trial, whether she gets put on death row or serve a life sentence has been set. Fate will demand she will be isolated and kept away from others for the rest of her life. She may manage to cope but it is likely she will contemplate suicide like so many others in Arizona prisons. Her changes are slim to survive this ordeal and it’s likely she will be dead before her sentence is completed. Wearing ball and chain wherever she goes, she will experience mental and physical pain. She will be tortured by her own device and suffer at the hands of loneliness and despair. Those around her will taunt her to no end and drive her crazy. It’s just that kind of world she is going to and nothing can stop it.

She will leave her isolation cell for three or maybe four reasons. It depends how compliant she is with the officers that escort her. She will be stripped searched each time the cell door opens and either walked or put on a gurney to places she need to go with the exception of recreation, showers and maybe non-contact visits by attorney to work on her appeal.

Starting a book club will consist of a book club of one. If she recycles it will be her own recycle bin inside her cell but likely disposed of as contraband for she is not allowed much property while there. Reality will hit her sooner than never. Arias will have so much time to stare at the walls her mind will search for voices to talk to her when alone.

Cruel and unusual it may be to many but in Arizona prisons the standards are one hundred years old. There aren’t any accommodations for compassion or empathy. She will be housed in the same area where Marcia Powell died in the heat of the Arizona weather while kept in an outdoor enclosure that now has shade and water but nevertheless a cage.

It is likely Jodi Arias will realize that what she had done will never out do her sentence. Whether life without parole or a death sentence, Arias has already began the journey to the walking dead as she enters the Perryville prison completely unaware what is in store for her and how cruel it will be to her sanity, her health and her existence on earth.
