杰奇·哈格蒂服刑已有30年的历史。如今他已经到了退休年龄,得到联邦政府释放。而当时哈格蒂由于自己的地中海罪犯最低量刑身份没办法减刑。


“Over consideration I was trying even out the sentence of the across the country,and that's why I'm in the minimums but some of them I always thought were too harsh. ”


“深思熟虑后 我甚至想在全国范围内赦免,因此我是这极小的一部分人,对于其他人来说太难了。”


Criminals take us where she happily lived with her baby daughter before her arrest. She had not been back in 22 years.


获释的这些前罪犯们带我们前往被捕前她曾经和她小女儿幸福生活的地方。她一走就是22年。


“So this where I want I thought to start a new life,and then it all crashed and took my life away. ”


“这就是我想开启新生活的地方,但后来一切都被打破了,带走了我的生活。”
