that s one of the first things i m going to do is go see my doctor again because i missed a visit so i can get this back in the works, the aesthetic surgery. okay, good. i just want you to stay solid. i am. i know look at what you ve been through. she looks really good. her spirits are really high. we re happy because if she s strong she ll make my son strong. and it s going good. we re looking forward to her coming out and putting all this behind us. with her one-year sentence nearing an end, hudson s future is hopeful. the future is much less clear for the majority of inmates here who are still waiting the resolution of their cases. the process can sometimes last years. inmates come back from court sometimes they have a verdict and they ve been sentenced to do many years in prison and those inmates who get those long sentences are dealing with a lot of things emotionally. they re going to be taken away from their family, their friends, if they have children, their chi
because there are few witnesses and no disputing that holbrook stabbed the other man, the trial is expected to last little more than a week. you know a charge of murder carries a life sentence. and as i was fighting in that parking lot that day, i m still fighting now. coming up these are my work clothes. going to trial brings reminders of all cort holbrook has lost. and the neighbors were crying. it was like they had seen a war scene. i couldn t even conceive what had happened. lexie hudson gets a visit from the woman whose apartment she helped blow up. to their breeding grounds. except for these two fellows. this time next year, we re gonna be sitting on an egg. i think we re getting close! make a u-turn. u-turn? recalculating. man, we are never gonna breed. just give it a second. you will arrive in 92 days. nah, nuh-uh. nope, nope, nope. you know who i m gonna follow?
come on, ladies. come on out. the deputies who manage the 3,000 inmates at the santa rita jail get out of your bunk now. notice distinct differences in the social patterns between mail inmates and the female inmates who make up about 10% of the total population. i feel like the female inmates, they bond up differently because obviously, the males have to puff their chest and they have so much to prove. versus females, they create families here. that helps them through the day, and whatever helps them, they ll take it. lexie hudson has not only made friends in her maximum security housing unit, they have helped her through one of the toughest periods of her life, adjusting to the burns that have scarred more than half of her body. you kind of build a friendship really quickly if you like the person. we re so different but we re so on different levels.
everywhere, like a million needles. they put me on a gurney and then they took us to the helicopter and then i woke up like a month later. hudson s boyfriend evan avilos was also badly burned, but their friend got the worst of the blast. i didn t get to see what he looked like, but i heard it was really bad. so he was burned like 95% of his body. the friend died five days later and hudson and avilos were charged with his murder. the charges were eventually reduced, and avilas received three years for involuntary manslaughter and was sent to prison. hudson is serving one year at santa rita for accessory to involuntary manslaughter. but she says she s still haunted by her friend s death. he left. he s gone. you know? and to know that i didn t stop them from doing it or i had a part in it, it s i feel really guilty because he lost his life. it s hard.
there are certain daily routines at the santa rita jail like the slow moved automated guided vehicles that make their way across jail grounds ferrying food, supplies and laundry to various housing units. inside those units it s a different story as 3,000 men and women find themselves dealing with the range of emotions that many come with being an incarcerated inmate. lexie hudson says jail has been less about fear and anger than it has been about gratitude. this whole experience, not just the accident, jail, dealing with family members has really made me wiser i want to say. this has shown me to take the little things and the people around me not for granted. because they could be gone the next day. you know? and i ve learned that there are certain people in my life no
