here. that s probably one that s not quite ready yet and she might come back. what are you going to do when you leave here? go to cosmetology school and graduate. dean says she will open her own beauty school after her release. first she has to raise the money which she plans to do by temporarily returning to her old job as a stripper. you worried about getting hired? i gained 40 pounds. i weighed like 140 pounds. now i m 170 something. i m big. you have to be in shape. looks are everything. the job where you have to be a beautiful person. like, i know if you go and go on a cocaine diet, you ll lose all of it in like a week. that s the worst thing in the world. that would be, like, my only worry, is to do drugs again to get skinnier. in the meantime, dean practices her future career on other inmates. but in jail, resources are few.
while april arnold volunteers to mentor women whose drug problems often coincide with jobs in the sex industry, sheree dean feels no need for such mentoring. nearing the end of a six-month sentence, she s anxious to get back home. my sister-in-law sent them to me. that s me and my daughter when i was pretty. what s the hard part about seeing this picture? i was so pretty. you have makeup and look pretty. in here you don t have nothing. no lotion, no makeup, no bronzer, no lip liner, nothing. because the jail doesn t allow inmates to purchase cosmetics, dean s makeup arsenal has been reduced to one simple tool. we break up the pencil and put the graphite in here and take it and wet it to put it on our eyes. i call it graphite black. while in jail, dean keeps her distance from other inmates and has not made many friends, but there s one criminal element
i ll be 53 when i get out. i don t have any kids. i don t have a family like that. so i would at least want to get out with enough time to have at least a family. that s my whole goal. it wouldn t be flores first experience with starting over. seven years ago he served 2 1/2 years in prison for grand theft auto. but that was just one more chapter in a life that s proven worthy of a novel, one in which his youth was robbed from him and might have led him down a very dark path. coming up it was like this demonic seed that was planted in my son s soul. the horrific event that changed both jason flores and his mother forever. and sheree dean reveals a morbid fascination. some people like baseball and football. i like serial killers. y pa only pay for what you need.
love you. how much did he send you? like $100 every couple weeks. he s like a lonely guy, so, you know, we talk and i act like i care about all the stuff he has to say. they don t know nothing about me. i m there to fulfill your fantasy and to leave. i don t care about you, your wife, your dog or nothing else. i care about how much money you got and that s about it. some people have talents. some people can write and sing and dance. i can hustle men for money. that s the only good thing i ve ever been good at. over in the jail s men s confinement unit, jason flores has been enamored of women like sheree dean and knows all about tampa s thriving strip club industry. there s a lot of strip clubs here. tampa is really the spot. there are a lot of chicks that come from all over out of town who come here just to dance.
i had big $10,000 rims on my car. i had a rolex. all my jeans were, like, true religion. but the lifestyle eventually led to the problems that brought dean to jail. started with ecstasy. then i started doing pills and then coke. when you do more pills you start to get tired and need the coke to bring you back up. i felt like without that i wasn t going to make any money. dean met most of her clients through her job at the strip club. all the guys i see are rich people. i stick with high-end guys. a guy asked me, he s like, what do you think about when you re doing this? i m thinking about what i m going to spend the money on. some of dean s past customers have continued to send her money while she s in jail. who wrote you that? my customer, randy. hi, my pretty lady. i hope my princess is okay. you ll always be my little princess. i have been thinking about you. i want to let you know i love and miss you and hope you re okay. hope to see you and we ll have some fun soon
