Pregnant in Prison with Jessica Kent

Jessica's childhood was a constant struggle.

She was bullied, suffered from multiple mental health disorders, and came from a home filled with addiction.

Jessica recalls taking her first drink at only twelve years old and the instant relief she felt.

"Alcohol made me happy, confident, and comfortable in my own skin."

From then on, it was a fast and steady progression to pain pills, and eventually heroin.

To support her addiction and avoid the poverty that so many around her were experiencing, Jessica started selling drugs.

This decision eventually landed her in prison.

What she didn't know when she got locked up is that she was pregnant.

Nine months later, she would give birth to her daughter while shackled to a hospital bed.

After serving her sentence, Jessica got a bachelor's degree and started making videos about her journey.

Today Jessica is over 9 years sober, her YouTube channel has over 300,000 subscribers, and she's doing her part to change the conversation surrounding prison reform.
