Mom of 4 Reflects on First Year in Prison for $31 Pot Sale | Tulsa World

Wearing prison-issue yellow clothes, Patricia Spottedcrow reflects on her first year in prison through the lens of tears and determination. 

One year ago, on the week of Christmas, the first-time offender was checked into the Eddie Warrior women’s prison - the first holiday away from her four young children. 

“I cried and cried just thinking of my kids opening presents on Christmas and I wasn’t there,” she said. “This year, it’s going to be any other day. I try not to keep up with days in here.” 

At her mother’s home in Kingfisher, there is a somber tone among her children - ages 2, 4, 5 and 10. 

“We’re crying here too,” said her mother, Delita Starr. “We’ll try to make sure there is money in her account for a phone call. What else can we do?” 

Spottedcrow, 26, was arrested and charged for selling $31 in marijuana to a police informant in December 2009 and January 2010. Starr, 51, was also charged. 

Because children were in the home, a charge of possession of a dangerous substance in the presence of a minor was added. 

In blind pleas before a judge, Spottedcrow received a 12-year sentence and her mother received a 30-year suspended sentence. Neither had prior criminal convictions. +

this just blows my mind. i cannot fucking believe those cops/ judge.
