I Was Sentenced To 20 Years In A Texas State Prison | Marci Simmons 

Unbelievable!!! Sex offenders get less time!!

20 years is absolutely devastating. I just can’t even imagine that amount of time for her crime. What a wonderful ray of light she is and I hope it just keeps getting better for her family and herself ❤

Wow, 20 years!!! I was once incarcerated addicted to drugs, it’s been 15 since my incarceration I have a powerful testimony and I never thought to bring it to social media this has inspired me, thank you ❤

Her poor children.

I shot someone in Philadelphia with an illegal gun and did a year. This poor woman got railroaded

She didn't steal enough. If she had stole $200 million, she would have never seen a jail.

Brother, I'm glad I found your podcast! It has definitely turned my attitude to gratitude. I live in a small town and no one else has been to prison but me. So, there's no one to talk to that would understand. Listening to your story and all the people on your show helps with relating to all of you. I listen to you 8 hours a day at work and my girlfriend of 18 years made a comment about how great my attitude has been and asked what I was doing different and I told her about listening to you. Thank you for your show!!!!

She should NOT have received so much time! what a sweetheart - such a nice person!

Removing the “had to” language would demonstrate solid ownership. “I had to lie…” “I chose,” “I chose,” “I chose…”

I love her spirit and how she is so positive. I’m glad her family stuck by her and we can all learn some lessons from her story.

Several years ago, on my hometown, a lady was caught embelizing around 100,000. The judge gave her a 10 year yr term. A several time DUI hit and killed a child. The same judge gave him probabtion .....again!! That caused lots of hoopla ..the childs father wrote a letter to the local paper asking why his child wasnt worth a 100,000??

Loving hearing from women's experiences in prison!

I did 6 years for a quarter OZ of pot and a pack of rolling papers back in 1972. Texas doesn't mess around..

Having worked in a TDCJ setting, Marci’s story hits different. One of the best episodes yet

Blessings to this woman for sharing everything, her regrets, the awful consequences of her actions, the effect on her family....what a likable woman and I am grateful she's out and has been able to continue her life. Murderers get less than twenty every damn day. I am so against prison time for non-violent offenses. The problem is that United States prisons are privatized (a crime in and of itself) and every prisoner (ESPECIALLY all those - and there are thousands - who commit non-violent offenses) bring in a pretty penny from the federal government for each and every head that gets locked up. It's a totally sick and broken system. The fact that she kept getting rejected for parole year after year despite it being a non-violent crime and after being a "perfect" inmate all those years until she finally loses it, loses her hope and starts acting up IS WHAT THEY WANTED TO HAPPEN so that they could keep her in the system and collect the money. This process of rejection keeps the money flow going. This is a fact.

She's beautiful and charming! Marci looks 30! Definitely did too much time! Great guest! Love your channel!!

She is beautiful

favorite interview. this lady has such a good aura about her.

Twenty years! People can get less for murder.

She went from 0-100 , especially for someone who wasn’t getting into trouble as a kid or young adult 😮

Marcie I was that girl that told the FBI everything without an attorney too. It was such a relief and I felt like a burden had been lifted.

I love seeing this kind of content as theres hope for everyone!

Fantastic interview!

Marci reallllyyyy rocked prison! Enjoyed every aspect of her new fate😅

Marci, you have blown my mind. I was also an inmate in a federal institution in Phoenix. It was in the 80's but the food was super good back then

Great episode ! Y’all are all amazing, the come up for you all is amazing !

Love how everyone you interview are completely different types of people with completely different stories to be told!

Great episode man. Way to push the boundaries. You are the reigning Commisary cookoff king!

Another amazing interview!!! Your doing big things again!! The legit way!!

Well done. That’s a great spirit and I enjoyed watching this interview. Thank you 🙏

Jesse is the Dad for sure! Amazing episode. Congratulations to both you and Marcie!

Hey Ian I always listen on Spotify to the full Pods… But Watched this one here!! So leaving a comment! Great pod she was good vibes was fun to listen to

How does he do it!?!? Every interview so far is 🔥

Is Marci going to be on commissary cook-off? I think she'd be great 🤓

Amazing episode . Ian you are a wonderful interviewer.

Great as always Ian

Incredibly strong woman. Ridiculous amount of time for that little money crime. Happy for her out.

Great episode 👏

She's a weirdo

She did a crime- she was not railroaded by a good ole boy.

Great interview Ian! Something I've noticed in a lot of your videos is a audio level mismatch between the intro and the interview.

If you commit a crime make sure it is federal, they have much better facilities.

You Always, Always, ALWAYS get a lawyer, guilty or innocent, bc the cops ARE NOT your friends!!

Thank you

Keep pushing ian you will be at 500k 1mill within 2 years

Wow 20 yrs 1st crime ever😮 TF kinda world!!!!! Welcome home!!!! 🎉

Your son saying “you touched your butt, and didn’t wash your hands?!?” 😂😂😂❤

Thank you.

Ian u rock!!

“Adult time-out”, that’s what you needed. I hear your heart racing, knowing you were busted. Good job on coming through that👍, what a journey you are having!

Good job ❤❤❤❤

I just love her ! Ian you’re doing such an amazing job. Thank you for being you. #BigBickEnergy 💗🦝

Another banger episode

She incriminated herself, she didn’t deserve that much time, 🤯 murderers get less time

Hi Ian ! Love your interviews! Keep them coming !

I was thinking this story would make a great t.v. series 😊 Looking forward to it!

5 children! Girl, what were you thinking!

Interesting episode, Ian. Keep up the good work pumping out these high quality vids and you’ll get recognition in time!!! Rooting for ya.

Great interview. MD Doc for women is Jessup I was there so much difference in every state. I had a 6-year bit but did more coz of parole violations which was my fault. Been out for so many years living a much better life.

You keep telling someone that they're bad, eventually they're just going to say screw it and be bad

Marcie you are amazing

How is it possible ,this lady steals money and gets 20 years and a man ,who abused his niece for 10 years ,after her mom passed on when she was just 4....only gets 4 years in prison and is let out of serving his full sentence.How is her 20 years sentence fair ,compared with a much more henious crime of abusing a child for so long and hardly serving his sentence.

Who sets sentences? Like in the beginning? So she stole what the owner probably cheated on his taxes. She should have been punished and made accountable, but 2 years would've been devastating and enough to ruin her life as it was. But hey let's punish her kids, make the tax payer get hit for 25G a year when she could've been out being a tax payer. She's inspirational.

Another solid

Thank you so much for sharing. It's crazy how you turn into a "typical inmate" as soon as you get there and good behavior didn't make you any better in their eyes and impossible to keep up for 10 years with your negative emotions and the structure of prison working against you. Glad you made it out.

I would love to know if you have a prison cookbook?? I think that’s so cool how inventive people can get in the time of desperation I think that’s really neat how the mind will create whatever it is you want out of whatever it is you have because the mind is a powerful organ! If you do have a cookbook, I would love to know where to buy it, you’re an awesome lady and I hope you have a blessed rest of your life

I think she's adorable I love her story I was in women's prison in Missouri and it's so funny to hear her talk about the things Piper had that they didn't like microwaves and washing machines as we did have all that stuff I'm starting to realize I may have had a cushy prison sentence compared to a lot

The way she said “booty”. 😂

This lady was probably the most dangerous person in prison. She wasn't use to urban speech ok...but your regimented Southern upbringing puts you right up there with the best of the American settlers.

I just heard something about how legend has it that mermaids disappear for 10 years and then come back again…..maybe you could’ve told all your friends and people that were wondering where u were was because you’re a mermaid! 😊

Texas : *gets prison labor for free* Also Texas : 'lol parole' Makes sense to me

She seems like a really down to earth, likeable person. I ain't giving her my SS or debit card number though😂

😂😂 I wish her the best

Such a sweet lady

20 years? Wow, in Germany you would be out in no time. If even convicted at all.

Good episdoe

Plz do a cook off with her

Everything is bigger in Texas, especially the prison sentences.

Okay so when I worked on the women’s prison they had gotten a load of cucumbers and they let the inmates take into their dorms. I do not know whose idea that was but they were taken up the next day. I’m glad I didn’t have to do a shake down and find those cucumbers.

The dorito story was fuckin hilarious 😅

I guess it just depends on who you know and how much influence that person has with the prosecutors. My half-sister stole at least that much money from a nursing home she worked at as the Nursing Home Administrator. She was married to a Texas Game Warden, and he apparently had some kind of sway with the prosecutor. She was convicted of embezzlement, and her punishment was to repay the money she stole. She received no jail time or fine. They are allowing her to repay the stolen money at about twenty-five dollars a month. Even though she's a convicted felon, she is still able to live around and own guns because of who her husband was. She has also stolen money from my mother for years. She seems to get away with everything.

A woman in my area imbezzled close to a million from a business and never served a day. Crazy!

Damn that was way too much time! But it sounds like she made the most of it and is doing well now.

I tried to look-up her crime, but all I could find were stories about how she's an advocate for AC in prison

That’s crazy I did time with a lady that did the same and never been in trouble and she did 2-3 yrs for about the same amount of money. Smh

nice video...

The conditions DEFINITELY should never change !!! I’m from CA …. I I only wish we had TX laws !!! …. Don’t mess with Texas

O my ! Every corp has outside audits… That was play dumb … no attorney 🙄

There has to be some type of legal loophole where they made an mistake by not charging her initially for the 200 K that a lawyer can fight for her

Rosie trying to take her cheeks 😂😂😂
