You get seven minutes to eat your food and you had to have your non-dominant hand on your lap the whole time you're eating. Somebody took their non-dominant hand off of their lap while they were eating to like grab their cup or something. A CEO came up, started screaming at this lady for doing what she did, told her to stand up. He said, pick up your cup. She picks up her cup. He's like, all right, I want you to

walk around this chow hall, and I want you to say this over and over again until I tell you to stop.

He's like, you got it? She's like, yes, sir. This is my cup. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Welcome back to the Locked In with the Invict podcast.

On today's episode, we have an extremely different perspective than what we're used to on the show.

Jamie Anderson reveals how she ended up getting sentenced to a boot camp as her punishment for her crimes.

That's right, a boot camp. This is a fascinating episode and it gives a really different perspective of the criminal justice system

and what they used to do in the United States as a form of punishment and might even still do

in some states. So without further ado, sit back, relax, and get ready

to lock in with Jamie Anderson. So let's get into your story then. Where are you from? Where'd

you grow up? Well, I guess that depends. I mean, I was born in Austin, Texas, and I spent, like,

the first five years of my life there. So what happened was is my dad was a vicious alcoholic, my biological

father, right? And, you know, um, at around age five, he was like in and out of jail throughout

the first five years of my life. I can like remember like seeing him through the plexiglass and like

going to visit him through like, you know, on a phone and just being able to, like, see him. And one night, you know, he casually decided he was going to get drunk and then try and stab my mom. What? I swear to God. That particular night, I noticed that the argument sounded a little different because it was like a nightly routine for them.

You know what I mean? And if you've ever like heard people argue like there's levels, you know what I mean?

So one particular night, it sounded a little extra ordinary. So I decided I was going to like, I never left my room when this would go down, but this time I did. And when I came out, my dad had like already had the knife in his hand and like turned to look at me to tell me to go back my room. And my mom grabbed it from him. And she like had a scar on her hand hurt. Oh, sorry. You're good. Don't worry. He didn't break it.

Yeah, that's cool.

So, yeah, so he went to jail and... He got arrested that night.

Oh, yeah.

And then my mom called, you know, her family.

She's got four brothers.
