While it is beyond tragic, what happened to Kendall, I cannot help but wonder if being subjected to helicopter parents had more than a little to do with her willingness to take up with a crud like Barnes. I mean, she pays for her own phone and at 19 her parents require her to give them the pass codes to her phone???? That is just sick.

I was locked up with both the girls in this case. Victoria told me she was locked up for helping a guy she was in love with. Kendall, Victoria, and Brandon was all sleeping together. Prayers go out to the girls family’s. Victoria told me this was a case of falling in love with the wrong guy because they helped him do something bad.

I was locked up with these girls. They was both messing with Brandon in a polygamy relationship. Victoria told me she fell in love with the wrong guy. Her and Kendall are talking about roommating when they get out. She admitted that she was not supposed to be talking to Kendall but they talk at night to not get caught. She told me she loves Kendall and use to love Brandon with all her heart. I pray for the family bc they probably won’t get out. It is horrible in the acdc. All food is cold. I found a pubic hair in my food and they refuse to give pads to the lady’s and made one sit in her own blood for days. They get 23 hrs in a closet with 4 beds with one hour out of that room per day. It’s truly a nightmare in there. Kendall just had a stroke and they are keeping her isolated in a cold room alone on a camera. The correctional officers walk and pretend like they are checking on inmates but they really don’t look in the rooms good. It’s very breaf how they check on the ill. I begged for medical attention for 4 days and didn’t receive it. Those girls are locked up with cold blooded killers that have no bonds and some have been in there for years. My heart went out to them bc they look and seem so innocent. Even if they had something to do with it no one deserves to be treated like an animal like that jail does people. God bless there hearts and family ???

If an inmate has a stroke regardless of allegations, how can a facility deny adequate medical attention? Also correct me if i am wrong but how is this particular institution ALLOWING CO-DEFENDANTS in close proximity?? These girls are SUPPOSED to have no contact. What does this mean one might ask. It means due to the lack of attention to detail and or common sense this “facility” has most certainly jot gained my trust that they can efficiently conduct this case; furthermore I absolutely will exercise my right to pull as much attention to their “medical staffs” malpractice. One more small bit of information. I have spoken to all 3 mothers of these women. I know they have all spoken to this particular resource FIT NEWS. Just a thought here. Why is it the only compelling story i have seen published is that of miss Kendal Mims? No shade to Kendal. Victorias side is just as compelling. Only difference is she walked into this chaos the last minute. Literally the last week of July. So is the prosecution painting a narrative with the aid of their attorneys? Not sure.
